A bowling alley I frequented as a kid had an arcade cabinet of X-Men: Children of the Atom. I was no good, in fact I recall consistently losing to Spiral. I don't think I ever even fought anyone else, I just liked mashing buttons as Wolverine or Cyclops.

Going back to it, I adore the presentation. All the sound effects are nice and punchy, and the backgrounds have so much going on while having tons of callbacks to the cartoon and comics. Wonderful fan service all-around, glazed with fantastic sprite work. I don't know the second thing about fighting games, but I don't care. X-Men: Children of the Atom rocks.
