When i was a kid my dad suprised me one day and said instead of going to school we were going to play hookie. We went to Walmart and he said i could get one game. I ended up getting Captain America and the Avengers and we played it the whole day. One of my favorite childhood memories.
Your content is so well written and spoken. I find myself revisiting all your old videos due to your passion and way of bringing out maximum nostalgia value. Love your work as always.
@@larrythebatmanfan I agree I love the passion he brings out in his videos, Especially when they are accompanied with personal memories he shares with us that are attached to these games as well and how we felt about these games at the time. I think Sega Lord X is one of the most passionate Sega fans I’ve come across if not the most passionate and he’s also the most unbiased I’m not afraid to criticise Sega.
X-Men 2: Clone Wars. The game that began with a "Prologue" level the second that the Genesis powered on and required the player to complete the level to get to the Sega logo and title screen.
The music would also change in some levels, depending on which randomized playable character appeared whenever the player hit the "Reset" button on the Genesis. That must have taken the composer a lot of work because that meant using GEMS audio to create multiple versions of the same track with different synthesized instruments to represent each X-Men character.
Spider-Man in Genesis was outstanding for its time. I also loved that you can leave a boss fight find a health bonus and come back to him. Heck I think you can leave any level at anytime to go elsewhere in New York.
Maximum carnage had some really great moves. You could spin a guy like a pizza! You could grab two dudes and smash them together. You could do bad ass back flips. You could web up guys. You could even pull a scorpion and pull dudes to you. You could swing on webs and climb walls.
And I can’t wait to finally play the punisher never played the arcade or Sega version but in all honesty, I would much rather play the arcade version considering what we got with the Sega version which overall was a lazy port but looking forward to playing it on my switch.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 ey yo, I loved The Punisher on The Genesis. Yes its better on arcades but The Punisher was and always will be one of my favorite comic heroes and The Genesis version was the best superhero game to me as a kid followed by X-Men 2
I friggin’ love that game, I still own it too. Don’t know what I did with the “collectors pin” that came with it, but I’m glad I can still play it when need be.
I think so too. The small sprites make it easy to see the whole screen and all the enemies on screen. It was tons of fun to play with my brother. I love the two player beat ‘em ups. It’s almost not even worth playing a single player beat ‘em up.
X-Men pissed me off. Never figured out that you had to reset your genesis to get past that one part. I really wanted to play more of it being a huge fan of the 90's cartoon.
I discovered it because I got pissed off LOL. I got so mad when I couldn't do anything at that point, I reset the Genesis and was going to do everything all over again. Then when that buggy screen came up, I thought I broke the thing and got scared. Then I was relieved when that was the way to keep going.
It was a very original feature of the game and the first time a game broke the forth wall. I became frustrated after several times of getting to that same point in the game and dieing over and over. The reset blew my mind when I finally figured it out. I'll still dig out that game every few years and give it another try for old times sake.
Trust me, you didnt want any of that smoke. We were better off ending the game there lmao cause of what came next! The Magneto boss fight is even harder to figure out than the reset thing. Its 1 of the hardest games of all time to finish, it took me years of trying when I was very young but eventually discovered how to actually damage Magneto lmao
Dude, what a time! No internet or way to look it up. I was so scared, but took the leap, and sure enough it worked. I don't really remember having to do anything like that until many years later playing Metal Gear Solid.
I played that at the arcade every time I went. It was such a strange selection of characters! Black Cat I get, but Namor and Hawkeye? I'm sure it was a rights thing, but Daredevil and idk, Moon Knight would have been cool. Or Daredevil and Elektra! Fuck it, double date.
Sakimoto's rendition of the Captain America and the Avengers OST absolutely stomped the SNES version and added to the gameplay in a simular way to Streets of Rage. And something else that was special about that era was how different an X Men game could be. Genesis had Clone Wars and SNES had Capcom's Age of Apocalypse, two of the finest 16 bit X Men games out there.
I grew up with Maximum Carnage and still play it regularly today. Honestly I would probably say it is one of my favorite games and I love how it is basically the playable form of the Maximum Carnage comic series. All cutscenes in the game are straight from the comic and the other heroes helping out as summons was pretty cool. Also, along they way you get the choice to swap between Spiderman and Venom at certain points if you want and at the final boss you get to switch between both on the fly. The different paths gave me replay value and I think the game is fun as is and do not feel that it being single player only brings it down in the slightest. I was so happy when I finally beat the game the first time and was able to read the comic the game is based on too. Personally I prefer it over Golden Axe and Streets of Rage, but I will admit that may be because I played Maximum Carnage first and remember the struggle me and my family had trying to beat it. It wasn't until many years later on SEGA compilations I got to try out Golden Axe and Streets of Rage. Still fun games, but they aren't as great to me. Separation Anxiety to me is a huge downgrade from Maximum Carnage in everyway and is the inferior title. The only way I find any enjoyment in this game is playing it with my bro for nostalgia's sake and I still get bored halfway through. If you could only play one I would recommend Maximum Carnage hands down.
My closing comments were for you. It's amazing how a game can be forever burned into your life because of how you played it as a kid. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It's always going to be good to you.
@@SegaLordX That is very true. I think the when, why and how one plays a game is just as important as the actual game itself when it comes to the enjoyment a person gets from a game. I know I wouldn't hold PacMan 2 as high as I do if I wouldn't have played it when I did and the situation around it.
Finally beating "X-Men 2: Clone Wars" after so many, many attempts was probably the most satisfying gaming experience I ever had. It's unbelievable just how bullshit difficult it gets in later stages. It's quite possibly one of the hardest Genesis games.
Yeah i agree, far better than the bleeps and bloops that was the Mega Drive version and it helped that Tim Folin did the music for the SNES version and showed up just how shit western sound design.
That first XMen game is forever etched into my memories, my dad use to play it all the time when I was like 3. My brother and I would play too, but dad could beat the whole thing when my brother and I could barely get past juggernaut.
Growing up in 90's I played all of these games. Having brothers to trade the controller with was part of the fun as the games were hard to beat. Taking turns we all gave it our best shot and made fond memories with them. Marvel in the 90's was a Juggernaut!
Maximum Carnage is actually quite good, the best Spider-Man game for the 16-bit era, actually. As a beat'em up, it's responsive, fast, the hits have a nice impact to them, you can grab enemies and bring them to you, kill two enemies at once if they surround you. The game also gives more incentive for accurate hits, so you won't be throwing punches in the air (and it gives you a powerful move if you don't waste hits, too). You can find many secret lives and a few secret areas as well. This game is HARD, though. It's not perfect, and the SNES version sounds better (I don't think they used the Mega Drive's sound capabilities to their fullest, specially for the soundtrack). I also enjoy Hulk a lot, even if it's a simplistic and quirky Western early 90's game. X-Men 2: Clone Wars has a unique style to it, it was a highlight at the time.
I still have my X-Men and Spiderman & X-Men game. I beat X-Men , I remember mojos stage. It was late at night and I was devastated I couldn’t do anything until I hit reset on my model one. Man was that a core memory. It blew my mind. Never beat anyone’s level in the other game except cyclops and Spiderman. That was tough. I’m gonna pick up all these other ones cause they look pretty good. Great video man.
Just one thing to add, Sega Lord; don't forget the boss fight at the end of stage 4 in Revenge of Shinobi when you face a strong man throwing cars and junk at Joe Musashi and as he gets damage, he turns green, kinda resembling The Incredible Hulk! Always enjoy your content! :)
7:33 There we have the LJN Gold at the End of the Rainbow video game. The one thing where they FINALLY pulled through! Well, maybe not Gold, but at least Bronze. At least according to AVGN ^^
The into music for Spider-Man the Animated Series sounds like those old dot matrix printers! The same soundtrack for a 12 pg crappy Happy Birthday banner printing 🎉😂
MAXIMUM CARNAGE was indeed a difficult game! But what I liked about it as a teenager was the colorful comic book like graphics and the awesome song “Carnage Rules” by the band GREEN JELLY! Also, the cross promotion through the comics, CD’s and video games helped build its hype and legacy back in the day. Despite its many flaws it did feel like an arcade game came to home consoles.
13:55 of course it’s cut back from the arcade. It’s still great. Better than the SNES version… oh wait, there is no snes version. Or any other home console version… But in all seriousness I loved the arcade version, I love this version too.
The biggest problem with Segas marketing is that they loved to throw around the term, "arcade experience at home." The term was bullcrap to the tenth degree. The Neo-Geo did that, even though nobody could afford it😂
I liked Maximum Carnage a lot on the SNES. I think the music is better there, and also the SNES doesn't have to compete with Streets of Rage. It's also pretty unfairly hard without knowing where a lot of the secrets are, though, so that gets annoying. I might also not have complained as much about the enemy roster when I played it as a kid, while I probably would today.
The first X-Men game on Genesis is something I'll never forget. The four playable characters of that game turned out to be my favorite characters of the X-Men universe, especially Gambit and Nightcrawler.
Aside from the enemies being bullet sponges Marvel's Spiderman was one of my favorite games as a kid. I played it with a six button controller back in the day.
I'm going to have to disagree with you regarding Maximum Carnage and Separation Anxiety. Maybe I just have a high tolerance for beat 'em ups, but I think they're both pretty good games. I'm also one of those rare people who enjoys Adamantium Rage.
Like I mentioned at the end, all of these games have the bones of decent games. I think personal preference and taste is what pulls people to different sides.
@SegaLordX Yeah, but I seem to be one of those odd people with a tolerance for jank. So, sometimes I understand people's problems with some of the games that I think are good or decent.
A review or even a retrospective of anything is always marred a little personal preference or nostalgia... or also a lack of thereof. It's just opinions I say 😅
@TheKayliedGamerChannel-TH-cam I don't really fault anyone for their opinions. It's just sometimes I like to put in my two cents or throw out some hot takes.
I enjoyed the first X-men game, Punisher and Maximum Carnage. Like SLX said, X-men 2 is in a class of it's own and is one of the best action games on the Genesis. A must play in my boom
A friend of mine had the first Spider-Man game, but man... we got to Doc Oc and we just couldn't figure out how to hit him without getting massacred by his tentacles or figure out how to take pictures and make them sell, we kept getting hit when we tried to get good ones. Still more fun than Maximum Carnage in retrospect. I really didn't get that games controls, and the samey enemies were so dull to fight... but man, it had symbiotes and I wanted my hands on anything symbiote-related. That's just how they get ya...
Excellent closing statement, M'lord. I'm quite forgiving of games that people crap all over, but I grew up with and love. Sure, it's nostalgia, but I find good in almost every game I play. Games like Arcade's Revenge hold a special place for me, but also others that people crap on. MK Mythologies Sub-Zero and Superman on the NES are just two that are widely crapped on but I love and look back on fondly. Just nostalgia, I know, but I can't hate them!
Wow! Marvel superhero games were on a roll back then. But I agree, you could see where some of those games fell short. Anyway, nice documentary Sega Lord X.👍😎
ran through revenge of shinobi, still got x men 2 clone wars, always got love for adamantium rage, put the wrong key in the bomb for spiderman vs kingpin, yeah marvel did have some gems for the genesis👏😁
I like the opening song and Spiderman theme for the Mega Drive version of Arcade's Revenge. While the visuals weren't great, when I was a kid I like the look of it and would enjoy playing the opening stage and the Spiderman stage. Wolverine's stage was alright, but everyone elses stage was really frustrating.
1:26 this was not the only Shinobi game where SpiderMan appeared in. in Shinobi 1 (arcade), stage 1B had wall-climbing ninjas that had SpiderMan's color scheme.
Dear Sega LordX, I am a Brazilian translator who likes your content. I grew up in the 90's playing Mega Drive a lot (that's how Genesis is known here in Brazil). Would you consider having your content subtitled into Brazilian Portuguese? If so, I would like to offer my services. Just let me know where to contact you more appropriately. Have a great day ahead!
Avengers was the best Marvel game on the Genesis, absolutely loved that game as a kid! The first X-Men game and even the second were way too difficult. If they had toned that down, they would have been great games as well.
One of my first experiences with abject disappointment was Spider-Man/X-Men. I was so happy to finally get that game after drooling over it in the store for months. Holy moly what a soul-crushing realization when I got it home and discovered it fucking suuuuuuuucked.
Clone Wars is to this day possibly the best X-Men game around. If there’s any one old Marvel game that I want to hand over to WayForward for a modern remaster/upgrade, it’s that one. Give it some X-Men ‘97 visual flair, VO upgrades, a way to save your progress… I would buy that so fast.
Sega had the best Superhero games by far, the only SNES superhero games worth playing were Spiderman and Venom, Spiderman and Carnage, Phantom 2044, Batman and Robin, Batman Returns, Spawn, and the unreleased The Shadow game Oh and personally The Tick but thats just bc im a superfan
As a European, I had no connection to Marvel in my childhood. I felt that these "heroes" were more like Hollywood joke figures. However, if you make a video about Marvel for Sega's 16 Bitter, you should have included the Sega CD. I think it's wrong that the Sega CD is considered completely separate. With the PC engine, the CD-ROM is also not considered separately. The CD-ROM needs the basic console, so it is part of the basic system.
There's an improvement hack of Adamantium Rage that reduces the difficulty among other things, but sadly it crashes every time I play it on my MegaSD or Everdrive X3. You'll have to use an emulator for it to work.
I know you're not a huge fan but I love Maximum Carnage (besides the absurd difficulty spikes & lack of co-op). Think it's a fun beat-em-up wirh a killer soundtrack & was a rare opportunity to play as Venom back in the day!
Don’t forget it was kind of like Marvel was still riding like second fiddle to DC at that time I feel! Lots of good marvel, and DC games on the Sega genesis
x-men 2 clone wars is a top 10 game on the system. It's just a great game. Tough, but beatable. Probably the only really good marvel game on the console imo.
The first X-Men has a difficulty patch that improves the gameplay a lot. But, using it, unfortunately you'll realize only the first 3 levels of the game were well designed.

That was insane at the time
Easily the best superhero game on the system(unless you include Revenge of Shinobi lol)
was this the game where you had to press the reset button on your Genesis just before the final level to get to that stage?
@@DasNordlicht91that was the first Sega X-Men game.
Spider-Man in Genesis was outstanding for its time. I also loved that you can leave a boss fight find a health bonus and come back to him.
Heck I think you can leave any level at anytime to go elsewhere in New York.
Maximum carnage had some really great moves. You could spin a guy like a pizza! You could grab two dudes and smash them together. You could do bad ass back flips. You could web up guys. You could even pull a scorpion and pull dudes to you. You could swing on webs and climb walls.
I love Maximum Carnage, unpopular opinion but I actually prefer the Genesis soundtrack to the Super Nintendo.
@@derickmiller6875 b-b-but it has no multiplayer! Pay no attention to what a unique beatemup it actually is.
@@PaperBanjo64 me to!!!
I think SLX may have missed it a little with that take. I enjoyed maximum carnage and def agree it get hard af
Separation anxiety owns that game 🎯
An arcade perfect, "The Punisher" is coming to modern platforms as part of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics.
And I can’t wait to finally play the punisher never played the arcade or Sega version but in all honesty, I would much rather play the arcade version considering what we got with the Sega version which overall was a lazy port but looking forward to playing it on my switch.
@Adamtendo_player_1 I'm looking forward most to Marvel VS Street Fighter

Captain America and the Avengers was a fun co-op game, even with it's small sprites on the Mega Drive
I friggin’ love that game, I still own it too. Don’t know what I did with the “collectors pin” that came with it, but I’m glad I can still play it when need be.
of the home ports of Cap & The Avengers, Genesis is head and shoulders above the SNES version in terms of gameplay.

The sprites are small even in the arcade game (they have the same size on Genesis). I kinda like it, give more room to move
I loved that game .!! For an early game it was beautiful version of the arcade game and the snes was not 😆
X Men 2 was amazing. I played it a lot. Loved how it just starts you in that snow level, no Sega logo or title screen

I always thought he walked kind of like Bigfoot in that grainy footage.
For whatever reason, Sega didn’t bring any of their System 32 arcade games home, except Gale Racer (Rad Mobile) on the Saturn.

Best probably X-Men Vs Street fighter for me
@@TheKayliedGamerChannel-TH-camOne of the best fighters ever made
I traded my Comix Zone to a friend for Maximum Carnage and NBA TE. I still wish I had Comix Zone today, but it wasn't a bad trade at the time.

The music for X-Men 2 was co-composed by Information Society's vocalist. The title screen samples their song "Come With Me".

Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin on the Sega CD was pretty good.
I definitely prefer it over the cart version.
❗️Out of all the 'Marvel' games during the 16-Bit era, I only liked 'Seperation Anxiety', especially it's start-up music, and 'The Punisher'.
The Punisher is the best comic book game on either 16-bit system.
I still have my X-Men and Spiderman & X-Men game. I beat X-Men , I remember mojos stage. It was late at night and I was devastated I couldn’t do anything until I hit reset on my model one.

Damn, sega lord went hard on seperation anxiety. I thought it was better than maximum carnage, and the soundtrack slapped.

Also, the cross promotion through the comics, CD’s and video games helped build its hype and legacy back in the day. Despite its many flaws it did feel like an arcade game came to home consoles.
The name "X-women" just sounds hilarious for some reason. 😅
Oohhh I see what you did there
Lol 😆 ok then.
X-Them
@@stoozdee 🤣
It sounds so wrong
Bro I love your content. You always come up with a new topic. Thanks for all your hard work 💯
13:55 of course it’s cut back from the arcade. It’s still great. Better than the SNES version… oh wait, there is no snes version. Or any other home console version…
But in all seriousness I loved the arcade version, I love this version too.
The biggest problem with Segas marketing is that they loved to throw around the term, "arcade experience at home." The term was bullcrap to the tenth degree. The Neo-Geo did that, even though nobody could afford it😂
I’ve been blessed to see all from 1980-Now what a life of gaming
Love playing Spider-Man Vs the Kingpin for the Genesis but the Spider-Man arcade game was just pure legend from 1991-1992 time period.
I liked Maximum Carnage a lot on the SNES. I think the music is better there, and also the SNES doesn't have to compete with Streets of Rage. It's also pretty unfairly hard without knowing where a lot of the secrets are, though, so that gets annoying. I might also not have complained as much about the enemy roster when I played it as a kid, while I probably would today.
Wow I never knew about that X-Woman game. It looked promising.
X-Men 2 is in my top 10 Genesis games! One of my all time favorites!
The first X-Men game on Genesis is something I'll never forget. The four playable characters of that game turned out to be my favorite characters of the X-Men universe, especially Gambit and Nightcrawler.
Aside from the enemies being bullet sponges Marvel's Spiderman was one of my favorite games as a kid. I played it with a six button controller back in the day.
Didnt maximum carnage get a soundtrack done by green jelly? (The 3 little pigs guys)
It did. Green Jelly even did a song called Carnage Rules.
I'm going to have to disagree with you regarding Maximum Carnage and Separation Anxiety. Maybe I just have a high tolerance for beat 'em ups, but I think they're both pretty good games. I'm also one of those rare people who enjoys Adamantium Rage.
Like I mentioned at the end, all of these games have the bones of decent games. I think personal preference and taste is what pulls people to different sides.
@SegaLordX Yeah, but I seem to be one of those odd people with a tolerance for jank. So, sometimes I understand people's problems with some of the games that I think are good or decent.
A review or even a retrospective of anything is always marred a little personal preference or nostalgia... or also a lack of thereof. It's just opinions I say 😅
@TheKayliedGamerChannel-TH-cam I don't really fault anyone for their opinions. It's just sometimes I like to put in my two cents or throw out some hot takes.
I enjoyed the first X-men game, Punisher and Maximum Carnage.
Like SLX said, X-men 2 is in a class of it's own and is one of the best action games on the Genesis. A must play in my boom
May your controllers never fall and your cartridge pins never corrode.
Your support is always appreciated. Thank you so much.
A friend of mine had the first Spider-Man game, but man... we got to Doc Oc and we just couldn't figure out how to hit him without getting massacred by his tentacles or figure out how to take pictures and make them sell, we kept getting hit when we tried to get good ones.
Still more fun than Maximum Carnage in retrospect. I really didn't get that games controls, and the samey enemies were so dull to fight... but man, it had symbiotes and I wanted my hands on anything symbiote-related. That's just how they get ya...
The Spider-Man name is what prompted me to get a Genesis over a SNES.
Excellent closing statement, M'lord. I'm quite forgiving of games that people crap all over, but I grew up with and love. Sure, it's nostalgia, but I find good in almost every game I play. Games like Arcade's Revenge hold a special place for me, but also others that people crap on. MK Mythologies Sub-Zero and Superman on the NES are just two that are widely crapped on but I love and look back on fondly. Just nostalgia, I know, but I can't hate them!
Wow! Marvel superhero games were on a roll back then. But I agree, you could see where some of those games fell short. Anyway, nice documentary Sega Lord X.👍😎
ran through revenge of shinobi, still got x men 2 clone wars, always got love for adamantium rage, put the wrong key in the bomb for spiderman vs kingpin, yeah marvel did have some gems for the genesis👏😁
I like the opening song and Spiderman theme for the Mega Drive version of Arcade's Revenge. While the visuals weren't great, when I was a kid I like the look of it and would enjoy playing the opening stage and the Spiderman stage. Wolverine's stage was alright, but everyone elses stage was really frustrating.
Spider-Man vs the Kingpin. Tried to finish it many times but never could. Freaked me out as a kid, especially when Venom turned up unannounced
1:26 this was not the only Shinobi game where SpiderMan appeared in.
in Shinobi 1 (arcade), stage 1B had wall-climbing ninjas that had SpiderMan's color scheme.
I grew up a sega & marvel fan & that's still true today! Thanks Sega Lord X
Dear Sega LordX, I am a Brazilian translator who likes your content. I grew up in the 90's playing Mega Drive a lot (that's how Genesis is known here in Brazil).
Would you consider having your content subtitled into Brazilian Portuguese? If so, I would like to offer my services. Just let me know where to contact you more appropriately. Have a great day ahead!
In the market for a Sega Genesis because of old school Madden, road rash, and all these marvel games
Heck yeah! Looking to play on a CRT or a modern TV?
@@PaperBanjo64 well, I've asked around and last two Genesis consoles are easier connecting to newer TVs. Prolly around tax time.
Yooo SLX you kiddin me? Spiderman-VS Kingpin was sooo dope to a preteen me!❤
WAAAAIIIIIT Shinobi is a Marvel Character? :O That is new to me!
The punisher is coming out on soon on a capcom compilation!!!
Avengers was the best Marvel game on the Genesis, absolutely loved that game as a kid! The first X-Men game and even the second were way too difficult. If they had toned that down, they would have been great games as well.
MegaDrive has some amazing games still.
One of my first experiences with abject disappointment was Spider-Man/X-Men. I was so happy to finally get that game after drooling over it in the store for months. Holy moly what a soul-crushing realization when I got it home and discovered it fucking suuuuuuuucked.
Clone Wars is to this day possibly the best X-Men game around. If there’s any one old Marvel game that I want to hand over to WayForward for a modern remaster/upgrade, it’s that one. Give it some X-Men ‘97 visual flair, VO upgrades, a way to save your progress… I would buy that so fast.
The genesis audio seems off like 50hz
Sega had the best Superhero games by far, the only SNES superhero games worth playing were Spiderman and Venom, Spiderman and Carnage, Phantom 2044, Batman and Robin, Batman Returns, Spawn, and the unreleased The Shadow game
Oh and personally The Tick but thats just bc im a superfan
As a European, I had no connection to Marvel in my childhood. I felt that these "heroes" were more like Hollywood joke figures. However, if you make a video about Marvel for Sega's 16 Bitter, you should have included the Sega CD. I think it's wrong that the Sega CD is considered completely separate. With the PC engine, the CD-ROM is also not considered separately. The CD-ROM needs the basic console, so it is part of the basic system.
There's an improvement hack of Adamantium Rage that reduces the difficulty among other things, but sadly it crashes every time I play it on my MegaSD or Everdrive X3. You'll have to use an emulator for it to work.
You're completely wrong about maximum carnage, that game kicks ass
Xmen on sega was great. One of my top 10.
I know you're not a huge fan but I love Maximum Carnage (besides the absurd difficulty spikes & lack of co-op). Think it's a fun beat-em-up wirh a killer soundtrack & was a rare opportunity to play as Venom back in the day!
I remember playing the 1st X-Men on my Genesis. Didn’t get far. It was kind of tough.
This was the best episode ever! 😮
I remember seeing the Spider-man vs Kingpin box at Blockbuster all the time and being super jealous as a SNES owner.
6:24 the soundtrack of that X Men game, though....
Bad mojo
Don’t forget it was kind of like Marvel was still riding like second fiddle to DC at that time I feel! Lots of good marvel, and DC games on the Sega genesis
You can find hack that tried to fix problems in Adamantium rage
Imagine if any of the devs of Marvel games had the foresight to make one of them a bit like Comix Zone.
Glad that you chose to play the tune from Spiderman excessively to damage our speakers and ears.
x-men 2 clone wars is a top 10 game on the system. It's just a great game. Tough, but beatable. Probably the only really good marvel game on the console imo.
X-Men 2 is definitely in my Genesis top ten. I'm really disappointed a rom of X-Women has yet to surface. Like you said, we know it's out there.
The first X-Men has a difficulty patch that improves the gameplay a lot. But, using it, unfortunately you'll realize only the first 3 levels of the game were well designed.
