Colossus has some great moves. ^ _^ So fun. And he's actually really good at picking apart most of the bosses; I think I only struggled--and then REALLY struggled--against the Egyptian statues, and the first Magneto encounter for some reason (although the second went better so maybe if I went back to the first now it'd be okay).
In the boss rush near the end of Konami's 1992 *X-Men* there's a recurring musical riff--like 48:56 --that is straight out of Janet Jackson's 1986 song "Nasty"
Although it would have been Jim Lee's artistic take on the X-Men that was all the rage at the time, and the game includes Asteroid M, which kicked off the Lee era, and the Reavers, who didn't come along until the late '80s (oh right, the game is based on the 1989 animated pilot "Pryde of the X-Men" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK0IxFDBpV0 , thanks @bachelorsoft8698 for the tip!) the credits showcase John Byrne's early '80s art.
So basically I guess the dev team were still big early-to-mid-80s fans. ^ _^
