X-Men: The Arcade Game

[@gtdgary]

Either X-Men 2- Clone wars or X-men 92 arcade. One of those is the best X-men game

I was at Capcom back in the 90's and worked on Children of the Atom. We took it to the AMOA shoe to debut it, I was busy polishing up the front marqui of the game when I heard this voice behind me say "Children of the Atom? Who came up with that?" As I turned around to tell him that was the original tagline for the X-men comic, and that I had suggested it, I found myself facing Stan Lee. I studered, stuck out my hand and said "Mr Lee it's a great honor to meet you." He smiled even wider and said "yeah, I bet it is." He asked me what I did, and how the characters looked great. He said the game looked like a lot of fun and then he talked to me about the early days of the X-men. Finally they came and got him ready for the press conference. The whole time he was up on stage talking I could only think of two things: I met Stan Lee, and he liked our game!!! 🤩

X-men Legends 1 and 2 are a one-two punch of greatness!!! I still treasure them to this day!!! RoA also had Iron Man and Professor X as unlockable characters!!!!

[@bearclaw07]

True

[@TheSoloReactor]

The only thing that annoys me about x-men legends 2 is the fact that there isn’t more x-ladies such as psylocke, jubilee, Emma frost or magma since she was the vocal point of the last game. Also wish there were more brotherhood villains on all platforms like mystique, pyro, and blob.

[@michaelbutler7016]

I might be mis-remembering- I thought Xmen the official game (2006) with wolverine, nightcrawler and ice man was pretty good. Particularly the traversal with nightcrawler and iceman at the time

[@verron1600]

Magneto's theme in COTA is so amazing.

[@Fragrances_n_Fur]

XMen Legends 2 is absolutely the pinnacle of the franchise. It wasn't very well promoted in the UK at the time of release, but we lucked out and scored as HMV picked it up. A few months later we were able to pick it up for 5 to 10 pounds. Such a steal! Also, Dazzler isn't forgotten by anyone who read the original comics as she was such a mainstay in the 80s and early 90s with the Mojovision story lines.

[@vandur2322]

My family lived X-Men Legends 1 but could never bother finishing XML2. It somehow felt like more of a slog and something about the darker or blurrier graphics made us decide it was annoying and headache causing. We made 2 serious attempt to finish it but abandoned it both times

On the sega genesis there was this Xmen game where just before the ending there was a sequence where professor X kept telling you to "Reset the console!!!" and I will never forget tapping the reset button in frustration and feeling like I had just discovered some insane secret trick by accident. May not be a favorite but I will never forget it.

I actually expected to see that game on this list. That part was insane. I literally called a damn game hotline to find out what I was supposed to do. This was years before I had to change the controller port against Psycho Mantis. One of the most meta experiences I’ve had playing a game.

X-Men Legends II def best choice at #1 slot. Clone Wars had amazing sound, music and art for what it was working with. Ppl need to play Wolverine Origins though, that is a shockingly good game from a terrible movie. Apparently the movie had dozens of delays for various reasons, so the developers had a completely unexpected wealth of time to work on it so polished the shit out of it, and it shows. Honestly the reason most games are bad is because they're rushed, and this is a shining example of what happens when coders get a lot of time to make something.

I always thought X-men would make a great MMO video game. You create your character with certain mutant abilities and looks. You start the game as a graduate from Professor X's school. All the main character Xmen are your NPC's that you get quests from and you begin your adventure into the world with other players as the events of the series unfold around you.

[@timboslice980]

City of heroes did a fantastic job of that…. I played it for years. They got sued by marvel for having too similar available power sets and costume possibilities. You could effectively make any character. They had tons and tons of pkaystyles and old school comics animation style look. They even made a comic book and a couple novels for the game

[@Wolf-o8f]
