Every other game I was just controlling one character, but here I was in charge of a group of four. It was great, but nothing could compare to my absolute favorite X-Men game and overall favorite Marvel title: X-Men Legends.ĭeveloped by Raven Software, Legends was the first X-Men game that really made me feel like I was part of a superhero team. Street Fighter first appeared at my local arcade, I pumped a fist full of quarters into that bitch. Sure, their NES game was garbage coated garbage marinated in garbage-sauce, but that X-Men arcade beat’em up kicked balls and ass. Gaming has almost always been pretty nice to my favorite Marvel team. Really, one of the cheapest looking cartoon series from my youth and I used to watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Though, in retrospect, it was also cheap as fuck.

The movies may be of mixed quality, but that cartoon was frickin’ excellent. For the longest time, the X-Men were my favorite superheroes until Bryan Singer got his hands on the franchise and slowly started to make me fall out of love with them. As the little porker I was, shunning daylight and exercise for the warm glow of my television set, I never missed an episode. Growing up, watching X-Men was a must for me.
