I was just wondering because i might buy it. 921090[/snapback] If you're asking if the first Genesis X-Men game is the same as the arcade game, it is not. The arcade version of X-Men from Konami has never been ported to a home console. Not to my knowledge, anyway. The only way you'll be able to play it is on the real machine or via emulation. Not a bad side scrolling beat-em' up, though! Oh, and the Genesis game isn't great, but it's not bad by any means. I do prefer the sequel, X-Men 2: Clone Wars. It's one of the best on the Genesis in my opinion. Edited August 29, 2005 by BerzerkZombieBentley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sigma #3 Posted August 30, 2005 The arcade is made by Konami, the genesis is by sega. No, they are not the same game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

X-Men Mutant Apocalypse for SNES, another side scrolling beat em up is better than either of the Genny games IMO. If you dig X-Men or beat em ups, it's one to seek out for sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeybastard #5 Posted August 30, 2005 There was a craptastic X-men game on the NES. I think it was made by LJN which is the official seal of terrible games on the NES. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I may like X-Men 2: Clone Wars on Genesis just a little more, though. And yeah, the NES X-Men game is one of the worst transitions from comics to video games. If not THE worst! Truly awful with no redeeming qualities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
