X-Men is an arcade game developed and published by Konami initially in 1992. An HD port of the game developed by Backbone Entertainment was released on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in December of 2010. It is no longer available for purchase as of 2013.

Plot
The X-Men stop the villainous Magneto from wreaking havoc on human civilization. They must fight through hundreds of Sentinels, mutant crocodiles, Reavers and supervillains such as Pyro, Blob, Wendigo, Nimrod, The White Queen, Juggernaut, and Mystique. Later, Magneto kidnaps both Professor X and Kitty Pryde, which prompts the heroes to go on a rescue mission for the two. They fight their way to Island M and to Magneto's base on Asteroid M where the final battle takes place.

Gameplay
The objective of the game is to progress as far as possible while surviving attacks from Magneto and his minions. The player uses a joystick, an attack button, a jump button and a mutant power button to control their character. Each character can fight with punches, kicks or close combat attacks. Each character also has a unique mutant power which can be used to defeat multiple enemies at once at the expense of three health points.
