X-Men: The Arcade Game isn't exactly on the shortlist of the greatest coin-op arcade games of all time. However, it was definitely a staple in most modern arcades during the mid-nineties, and most people I know who frequented arcades during this period have some recollection of this game. With plenty of fun co-op levels, a ridiculously simple story (even by X-Men standards), and bright pixel-based visuals, X-Men was certainly one of the games that epitomized the arcade experience in its waning years.
Pre-orders for the Arcade1up X-Men arcade game open on July 15, also includes Captain America And The Avengers and Avengers In Galactic Storm
A look back at a key moment in one gamer's life at the local video games arcade.
Ground Kontrol in Portland, OR. All ages till 4 or 5 I think and then 21 and over at night. Full bar, top floor is all pinball machines, lower floor is stand ups.
10 minute walk from my place downtown and I'll easily spend $20
Those parties were the best. I remember something similar where myself and a few friends finished Die Hard Arcade. Good write up. You have got me pining for the good old days
Back then it was about trying to get the top score and having fun hanging out with your mates and no one cared about how many pixels a game had

There are no two greater symbols of geek culture than comic books and video games, and comic book games combine these two unique forms of entertainment into one enjoyable experience. Like many other media combinations, some are good and some are awful, but the good ones stick out by letting us play as our favorite heroes, anti-heroes, and outright villains in fantastical settings.
These comic book games are just a few of the best out there, taking the things we love about comics and injecting them with the interactivity superserum that makes games so great.
