Title: Classic X-Men Arcade on Xbox Live
Post by: nakeworks on December 17, 2010, 11:01:48 am
Maybe everyone knows already but Xbox Live now has the classic 6-player X-Men Arcade game available for download!  :drool  Would anyone else get it?  You can play up to 6-player co-op.  I tried the trial version and it looked and sounded very nice.  Let me know if anyone wants to play.

Why pay $10 for something I can already play whenever I want?   ;)

I'm gonna get it, I used to drop MAD coinage into the huge 6 player cab at the batting cages.

As much as we like MAME, I always try to show love for whatevers left for these coinop classics whenever I can.

I might get it eventually, although I have the real JAMMA board (4p version) in my collection...

Has anyone ever beat this game?! I was so bummed the other day when I finally did. There wasnt even really an ending. Most arcade games are like that I suppose. The last boss just eats quarters, then the ending sucks because they dont expect anyone to beat an arcade game.  :dunno

It's a pretty impressive game really.  For an emulated port they really went all the way.  US and JP ROMs, 4 and 6 Player Roms.  4 local players and 6 online on Xbox and 6 local and 6 online players on PS3.  You can join your friends 'live' in game online when you want just like at a real arcade.

I'm not a fan of the game but I respect the effort.
