Let's Play X-Men Arcade Part- In One Sitting
0With all these X-Men movies out and such I decide to play an old classic from my childhood. This video other than a full run of the game is a chance to talk about comics and other nerd type things. So it's kind of a lethargic playthrough so to speak.
This game is fun to play. It's a standard beat-em-up with the possibility to get up to 6 people. It's also extremely cheesy with it's dialogue.
Hope you enjoy my run of the game.
X-Men is an arcade game produced by Konami in 1992. It is a side-scrolling beat 'em up based on the Marvel Comics characters of the same name. The character designs of the X-Men and the supervillains in the game are based on the 1989 X-Men pilot episode X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men. In the game, players control one of the six playable X-Men to defeat their enemy Magneto. Konami made a six-player version of the game utilizing two screens housed in a deluxe cabinet.
An HD port of the game by Backbone Entertainment was released by Konami on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade on December 14, 2010 and December 15, 2010 respectively, followed by mobile versions for iOS and Android devices. It is no longer available for purchase as of 2013.
