X-MEN...WELCOME TO DIE!
o zmaanlar xmeni marveldan çok seviyordum adamdır
Swiss cheese!
I find it difficult to talk about beat-em-ups, because at a certain point they kinda end up being the same thing. There isn't that much functionally different between X-men: The Arcade Game and Turtles in Time, or The Simpsons. Not that I find that to be a particularly bad thing, mind you, because my brain has become hardwired to dump endorphins just as much as quarters anytime I come face-to-face with an arcade cabinet.
X-Men: The Arcade Game is (like most beat-em-ups) incredibly compelling, a ton of fun with friends, has a look and sound tailor made to draw you in from across a smoky dimly lit arcade parlor, and is far more polished than it really needs to be. Well, to a point, of course. "Welcome to die" is pretty infamous, but it's also so endearing that it manages to put a smile on my face every time I hear it. I am easily manipulated. I am the key demographic for this crap.
I didn't have as much exposure to X-Men as I did the Turtles arcade games. Obviously it's been decades, but I vaguely remember it being in a particular arcade that quickly got a bad reputation. Usually I was playing arcade games at one of a couple pizza shops or the bar my dad liked to drag me to. I'll ruminate on that more when I get to TMNT: The Arcade and Turtles in Time, but suffice it to say, those had a lot more staying power with me. They also had Turtle Power, which really is the most important thing X-Men is lacking.

Who the shit is Dazzler? I'm willing to put money down that Marvel doesn't even know who Dazzler is.
Punch the bad guys! Defeat Magneto! You are the X-Men!
The visuals are pretty good and the gameplay is good too. Overall a pretty good beat em up.
Like basically all beat-em-ups, this is almost worthless if you aren't playing it with a group of friends. But thankfully, I was playing on a classic machine with all of my siblings, so it was a real blast!
the novelty here lies in the 6 player possibility because otherwise its a pretty standard, borderline generic playing, beat em up. seeing a cabinet with 2 screens was interesting
X-Men 97 gave me the drive to play this (I know this is based on Pryde of the X-Men but still =P)
It's a dated but fun little beat em up with great sprite work and innovative presentation with its cutscenes and voice acting for the time. I do hate that thing with old arcade games where your special moves take your health away kind of taking away some of the magic of playing as the X-Men and using their iconic powers.

This is kinda mid
Most Beat 'em-ups blend together but this one stands out because you get to play as the fucking X-Men! The X-Men are some of the coolest characters in comics and it's very fun getting to play as different characters and fight different villains from the franchise. I think this game deserves the Shredder's Revenge treatment since there are so many more characters and customization that could be explored. If you're a fan of 90s Arcade games this is a must-play.
Great sprites, fun music, love the characters.
Solid, simple arcade game. Scratches that itch for the 40 minute playthrough then you go on with your day happy.

now this was the shit
Such as classic arcade game. I have played this game so so many times in the arcades throughout the years. It's a pretty common game to find in most arcades and it's easy to see why. Sure it's mostly pure nostalgia but it was everywhere back in the day too. It has simple gameplay but being able to play with 4-6 buddies and just wack some sentinels around is good fun. The colorful world is amplified by the games excellent sound system. Everytime a mutant power is thrown out the machine just erupts in sound. Cmon anybody can remember Collosus's scream. AAAAARRRRRRRRRR! The game had some pretty cheesy lines and it's easy to get a good laugh at every encounter. Prepare! X-Men welcome to die!
Played 4 player co-op with unlimited tokens. Holy crap we would be broke if the bar required quarters to play games. We completed the entire game but didn’t stick around for the New Game+ after defeating the final boss.
The definition of an average beat 'em up game. The only thing memorable about this game is getting Colossus' shout stuck in your head.

This is probably the first game I ever FINISHED! I was prolly only 5-6, and used to play this a lot on my mom's Galaxy Y. Ahh the memories!
Decent beatemup.
Just like The Simpsons Arcade Game, the game itself is basic with limited movesets and a short run time, but the charm is here. The game is gorgeous with some big, detailed sprites, and it certainly has all the character you'd expect out of X-Men. The voice lines are the cherry on top, with the Magneto fight actually causing me to laugh out loud. If I ever see this one in an arcade, I'm sure I'll be wrangling my friends to check it out.
Six player fun!
This was like one of the first games I ever played, good memories though I was sad I couldn't learn the names of the bosses haha
me and my dad played this when i was six on the xbox
Whooping the shit out of prone enemies in this game with friends might be the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Well it only took four games, but someone finally figured out how to make a decent X-Men game in 1992. While it's still a pretty generic brawler, it finally got the visuals and combat down to a serviceable level. I do think It still needed more distinction between the characters and more use of special powers to keep things from getting so repetitive, but above and beyond better than the previous efforts at bringing the Children of the Atom to the medium.
If you grew up with comics in the early 90's this game was the fucking shit. Same with the other two Marvel arcade beat em ups. Just thinking about it immediately brings back the stale nachos, pizza, and shoe disinfectant smells of the local bowling alley that had this cabinet. This really should only be played in arcade form.
