X-Men

X-Men is a video game created by Western Technologies exclusively for the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis console and published in 1993.

As the title suggests, the game is based on the famous Marvel superhero series. The gameplay is a typical side-view beat-em-up/platformer, similar in many ways to other popular games such as Strider or Lionheart.

In this platformer, you can control four of the most famous mutants: Gambit, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Cyclops. Other heroes, such as Storm, Rogue, Iceman, and Jean Grey, can't be played, but they occasionally appear to help you. The final boss is, as you can expect, the well-known Magneto.

Criticized in part for the extreme difficulty, X-Men is nevertheless a fan-favorite title. Have you ever dreamt of being Wolverine? Well, this is your chance to make your wishes come true.

X-Men is one of our Top 20 Sega Genesis Games of all time.
