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.

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.

Whooping the shit out of prone enemies in this game with friends might be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

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.

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.
