Guest William E Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I feel that the X-men:The Arcade Game doesn't get the recognition it deserves as one of the best arcade games next to the Streetfighters and Mortal Kombats. I remember how fun that game was especially when you had four other people to play with. There was a laundrymart that I would go to and lose all my quarters playing that game. The game featured some pretty good graphics and sound for it's time and was never ported to a home console. IMO it is one of the best arcade games ever and the best X-men adventure game to date. Anyone else agree? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Colossus and Storm rule. Spent about 5 bucks a day on that game, to beat it from start to end every time I went to the arcade. Good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go the Storm love. That bitch kicks it. Myself and my friends spent HOURS playing that game when we were kids. I can't imagine how much cash we spent trying to finish the thing. Never did, either.

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Great game, especially in 6-player mode. My character was Storm. When I worked at an arcade I'd play that game quite often after we closed up. Best I ever did was beating it with 5 credits (Should have been 4, but I died at the very end)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KANE Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I cleaned up with Cyclops and Colossis. I really didn't like using the 3 characters on the right side of the console. Still, awesome game, up there in pure great arcade madness with TMNT: The Arcade Game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest eiker_ir Report post Posted July 9, 2003 a classic indeed. I still play this whenever i see it at the arcades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Love the game. One of the true arcade classics. Where's the Nightcrawler love? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Nightcrawler's the shit. Me and my friends went to, and still goto this pizza buffet. And they have tat, The Simpsons arcade game, and table top hockey. We would stay there four hours, eat bbq pizza and play video games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Prototype450 Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Me and my brother got to the end with Cyclops and Colosseus. We COULD NOT beat Magneto at all. We didn't know how to get around to hit him cuz he had that big bubble thing that would hit you if you tried to hit him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Aero Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Awesome game indeed... easily my favorite arcade game of all time. I tore that game up with Cyclops and Colossus... although I never did beat it, even with a group effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Prototype450 Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I know. Must people get to the end and can never beat Magneto. He's just damn hard to beat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2003 That was an arcade in Times Square before they cleaned it up. There were a lot of other disturbing, random posters all over that place. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I'm not a big X-Men buff -- who was the chick that (I think) occupied the far right side of the game? She looked "normal," not like the other mutants. If we had six people playing, the person that got to the game last would always have to play as her...

Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I played the heck out of this game back in the day. I loved playing as Colossus or Wolverine. Ah, memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest William E Report post Posted July 9, 2003 That game was hard as hell to beat, whenever I went to play it, I would wait for someone to join in. Damn Sentinels were too much for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Are you kidding, I only ever played Nightcrawler or Dazzler. I especially liked hopping around w/ NC doing jumping dive things, and I loved dazzlers special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sakura Report post Posted July 9, 2003 No love? Seems like anyone who has been in an arcade in the 90's adores this game. I love the Beat em' up genre and would place X-Men under the Streets of Rage series as best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted July 10, 2003 I remember years after playing the double wide screen version I was at a theater waiting for my movie to begin. I saw the X-Men game and popped in a quarter. There was only one screen and it covered only about 1/3 of what I was normally used to playing with. Ugh...

Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2003 (edited) I saw this one guy go through the entire game with Wolverine and continue maybe twice. I loved X-Men but ever since Final Fight 3 came out for the SNES, nothing else compares. EDIT: I take that back. Alien Vs. Predator is the best beatemup in existence.

Guest Sakura Report post Posted July 10, 2003 Yeah, there's a 4 player cabinet with only one screen. You can also just install the game board into any old cabinet and it'd be two player or whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved X-Men but ever since Final Fight 3 came out for the SNES, nothing else compares. EDIT: I take that back. Alien Vs. Predator is the best beatemup in existence. My dad took my friends and I to an arcade for my 8th birthday and gave me 40 bucks to play. I left them all behind and me and 2 other guys wated all the cash we had on that game and beat it. I can't remember the ending, but that game was indeed the shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2003 I remember when my mother bought me a bike for my 14th birthday... one of the first mountain/trail bikes Huffy ever made... the tires were ENORMOUS... most of the kids in my neighborhood called it "The Truck" because of the sound of the tires made when rolling at high speed... Most of my relatives gave me cash, I figured that it was about 60-80 dollars all told... in a massive binge, I rode my new bike down to Spanky's (the local arcade) and proceeded to blow every dollar I had in the place, only taking time to ride to Duchess for some chicken chow mein, then back to Spanky's. Ahh to be addicted to video games as a teen.... better than alcohol or pot, thats for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted July 10, 2003 EDIT: I take that back. Alien Vs. Predator is the best beatemup in existence. Would Golden Axe count as a beatmeup game? If so that was my favorite of this genra (I don't count Shinobi in this group)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted July 10, 2003 EDIT: I take that back. Alien Vs. Predator is the best beatemup in existence. Would Golden Axe count as a beatmeup game? Absolutely, and definitely one of the better hack'n'slashes out there. That newer 4-player Golden Axe wasn't as good as the original though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
