X-Men Arcade Game
 

Anyone ever used to play this game? It was the x-men arcade game that was actually in arcades:lol: Anyways, I remember having so much fun with this game, I think about six people could play at a time. Does anyone rememeber this? I wonder if theres any place online you could play it or um..find it available.:-?

It was a cool game. I Usually used Dazzler just 'cause she sucks and makes me laugh :lol:

Ah yes, I remember that game. It was a 3 screen arcade behemoth. Such fun to play with a crowd of people. I wish there were more games like it.

X-Men Arcade and Simpsons Arcade were the arcade games I enjoyed most in my youth (outside Pac-Man, Galaga and the like).

I was always Wolverine because when you're 10 years old Wolverine is the coolest thing in the world. I occassionally switched off as Nightcrawler when I died and got to choose my next character, though.

Damn, you beat me to it, KROW. :lol:

BTW, who remembers Cyclop's goofy retro costume?:P

I liked Cyclops costume. Then again, Im the one person on earth who didn't jump on the "OMG CYCLOPS IS TEH SUCK" Bandwagon.

Very fun game, I never beat it in the actual arcade but I did using an emulator. I always preferred Wolverine because he always seemed to have the best hand to hand combat fighting skills.

Heh, I thought he sucked since the animated cartoon way back in 91ish.

Anyway, yeah. This was one of three games I used MAME for back when I had it (wish I could get it again... this new machine would run it like freaking SILK). TMNT and Marvel Superheroes: CotA were the other two.

Thinking about it, I pry should have had Simpsons as well. Oh well. But yeah, insanely fun to play in the arcade with a full load of characters. We still have one of these machines in town too.

Our last arcade in town just shut down, but in sort of a strange return, the Case Bonita restruant that was shutting down was bought by Case Viva, reopened, and bought all the good machines from the closing Fun House Arcade.

Now I've got a restruant with the following:

Daytona USA Deluxe Twin
After Burner
After Burner II Deluxe cabnint
Hydro Thunder twin
Rush 2049 Twin
X-Men (full size 4 player)
TMNT (4 player)
The Simpsons (4 player)
Centipede
Ms. Pac-Man
Galaga
DDR: Ultramix Import machine
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Soul Calibur
Soul Calibur II
Tengen Tetris
Crazy Taxi
Die Hard Arcade
Crusin' World
and I hear they have a Super Mario Bros they haven't put out. I'll die trying to get my hands on that unit.
and about a dozen others I can't remember.

Yeah, I eat there often. :lol: All of the machines get a lot of attention from what is left of the local arcade fans (what's left of them at least). This is our last arcade in the region.

Our mall just opened a Namco branded arcade.

It's mostly Time Crisis machines, a few racing, and a couple fighters.

But it has DDR Extreme Mix. While this would be a good thing under any other setting... here it's not. The first player pad only registers around 25% of your steps, making you look like you really suck when you don't.

Thankfuly I learned this after my first go, and only play on the 2nd player spot.

Roxxorz.

You lucky, lucky bastoids. :x

We have a few arcades around here.

We have lots of Golflands*Which suck* And a Dave And Busters*Which also sucks* Their too expensive to be honest and all the arcade games they make now*Which are none* aren't very cool. All the games these arcades have are old as Hell. I don't think anyone makes arcade games anymore since consoles can do everything an arcade used to be able to. Guncon and Guitar games now. Soon Drums probly. Nothing isn't at home anymore.

The only arcade in our area is a Time-Out, one of the arcades owned by Namco.

The selections are awful, half the games don't work and the ones they do have are old and I've played them all to death (can only play Tekken 2 so many times).

Time-Out gets 90% of its income from the DDR otakus that dump quarters into that thing like there was no tomorrow. Unfortunately, DDR and its fanbse is so loud and obnoxious that anybody there to play actual video games are driven out by the annoyance.

I remember the days when the arcades in my area rawked...

Man, that's just so not fair. I don't have an arcade around here period and you get one with so many epic games :)

I last played it at a place Grand Slam, but when I went back there, it was gone. It was actually several years after I'd last played it. ;)

However, I last saw it at a movie theater north of town when I was in high school, but didn't get around to playing it.

You're not the only one, believe me. Cyclops is my favorite X-Men character, and I could get pretty far in the X-Men arcade game with him.

The arcade in one of the malls in town had that game until recently. I played it a lot, and it never got old. Sadly, it's not there anymore for some reason.

I really wished that game could have been ported to consoles like SNES. I'd also like to see somebody make an emulator rom of it, if it hasn't been done already.

X-Men,TMNT Arcade,and The Simpsons at Chuck E. Cheeses was THE best.I remember just gathering a bunch of kids to play those games.I always used Nightcrawler and if there was alot of enemies everyone would be like use NIGHTCRAWLER! cuz of his special. Good times. My arcades around here suck i play some punching game alot tho.

Yeah, I've got the 4 plater PCB for my 4 player Arcade machines.

Great game, NightCrawler is my favourite character to be.

I even ripped some sprites, check them out HERE.

Every so often when I have nothing else to do I like playing through this game on an emulator. Seems to be the only way this game would be available these days. I tend to play as Nightcrawler or Colossus but sometimes I'll try to play as every character at one point or another.

I remember playing this at the arcade but I sucked. Always got beaten by Pyro, but now I can beat that whole first level without needing another coin.

Yeah the arcade game was based on the failed pilot "Pryde of the X-Men" Which was basically an 80's X-Men cartoon, that's right 80's X-MEN! Man I loved that episode. I watched that tape a zillion times...

Anyway, it's been a goal of mine to get all the marvel legend figures from the pilot. So far they've made: Wolverine (brown), Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, Collossus, Storm, Prof X, juggernaut, magneto, toad, pyro, and... I think that's it. Still need White Queen, Blob, and Dazzler but queenie and blobby are on the way next year. So yeah, Dazzler will be the last one I need, a shame they'll never make her.

Simpsons arcade was awesome, turtles arcade.... man konami was king back in the 90's.

I collect Heroclix and mainly try to get the X-Men characters. My last singles purchased revolved around getting New Mutants.

I've got the Pryde of the X-Men VHS, and now have it recorded onto DVD. Shadowcat is actually my favorite female X-Man.

wow awesome:D how much did u pay for the arcade cabinet and how did you get the game into the simpsons one!?

Simpsons cab was £450. X-Men PCB was around £80.

I have lots of other Konami 4 player games that I change and put into my other cabinets.

Here is a picture my TMNT cabinet in which i've put turtles in time into

nice.. so with the money currenency u mention, do u like in europe?

I live in the UK, so we use Pounds sterling £££ (GBP), unlike Europe who now use the Euro €.

So in dollars my machine would have cost $882.40

wow that's expensive.
