Retro Game #9 X-Men 1992 Gameplay (Arcade)

The X-Men game was released in 1992 by Konami Co. for Arcade.There are 6 characters to choose from Wolverine, Cyclops, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm and Dazzler.The goal of the game is to progress as much as possible while surviving the attacks of Magneto and his henchmen. The character can move in all directions, jump, punch, and also has a special attack that is activated with an extra button. The latter is very effective, but will cost several health points. Normally, a character with less than four health points can no longer use any mutant powers, but it is also possible for characters to gain additional mutant powers that can be stored as items. In the Japanese version, energy items are consumed before health, and there are also upgrades and health packs in all levels.
