It isn’t mentioned in the description but *this game is famous for the 6-player version with 2 contiguous screens!* This emulated version is on the lame single-screen, 4-player version. Any gamer of this era remembered what it was like to see that monster in an arcade, that is what set it apart.
Exactly! If you know, you know - folks should Google what that 6-player X-Men arcade cab looks like. Now *that* was the experience this game was meant for.
I remember that Capcom and Konami were the absolute kings during this era of arcade games. They both gave us so many unforgettable gems 💎. X-Men is most definitely one of them. I miss those days 😢
Funny how this is by no means bad spritework but would look almost amateur in a couple years when Children of the Atom released. Capcom was just on another level back then. Anyway this is still a classic. Thanks for the play through.
You know, when comparing Konami's X-Men with a later Konami game Metamorphic Force, Nightcrawler _(Kurt Wagner)_ would the base character and his "Teleportation" power would be the go-to Special Move for a powerful Power Charge, with the help of "goddess statues", mowing down waves of enemies.
Based on the Pryde of the X Men pilot. So Wolverine is Australian in this I guess? Also, how the hell did Kitty Pryde get abducted? Her whole dang thing is walking through walls.
