I'm excited about this game (first time I'm excited about a licensed game). Anyway, if you don't know the game play, its basically this. You grab a bunch of x-men and go on missions as a team. That's the gimmick, and that's what grabs me. Can't wait for it.
The screenshots look pretty good. I guess they're gonna go for a cell shaded look and it looks good. If anyone knows what villains and what x-people are gonna be in it please share.
Also, did anyone play an IBM DOS x-men game from a long, long time ago. If you did, could you describe the gameplay and the characters used. I was really interested in that game as kid too. But I had a commodore 64 so I couldn't play the durn thing.
Cool, thanks. Looks fun, hopefully everyone will have a variety of moves. While I do not recall playing an IBM DOS X-Men game, I LOVED the Genesis XMen games, those were fun. Although I haven't played them in years, so maybe they have not aged that well. At least the X-Men arcade game is still fun!

I played that game... but on a friend's computer. As such, the memories are extra fuzzy. I remember you could use X-tastic abilities to clear obstacles on some sort of map, and the fighting system was really simple. As far as characters, they had all the basic X-Men in there and some older characters like... Shatterstar's (X-Force, anyone else ever read that) dad (or uncle, or something). Other than that I don't remember much at all.

Yeah, I actually owned that game, but I don't remember many specifics as it was a LONG time ago. I do remember you could be Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Ice-man, Beast, Cyclops, Jean Grey (she might have been Marvel Girl at the time), and Colossus. Can't remember anyone else. As far as gameplay, you would switch from an overhead mode where you wander around getting lost on rudimentary maps that all look alike (I think there was a jungle scheme and an inside a building scheme), to a side-view crappy yet difficult short fight in random battles kind of like Zelda 2. You had a bunch of people on your team at once, but you only control one at a time. When one dies, you switch to another until you only have Wolverine left (he was the best, I remember, I think he dealt the most damage so I always left him until last).
The characters had very simple attacks based on who they were, but they all felt the same. I don't remember the enemies or bosses very well, but I do remember that they were very repetative and it took longer to kill the bosses. Probably the clearest memory of the game I have is that it wasn't very good, but I haven't thought about it in years so heres to nostalgia!
