Top 25 Classic Arcade Games of All-Time

24. X-Men (1992)

In a time before online play (or even owning a console that could accommodate more than two controllers), offering a multiplayer experience was the only gimmick an arcade game needed to really suck in the quarters. X-Men didn’t wow anyone with its gameplay. However, the mere fact that you and five of your friends could take control of one of your favorite mutants (or the Dazzler) and take the fight to an endless supply of Sentinels makes this game a standout at any retro arcade.

The major knock against the game is that it is not based on the popular X-Men cartoon from 1992, but instead on the failed pilot “X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men” (produced in 1989). If you’re looking to play as favorites like Gambit or Rogue, you will be sorely disappointed.
