Boss Battles

This coin-op classic throws you into a chaotic brawl as six X-Men, each with unique powers and playstyles. The simple controls belie the depth of its combat, encouraging experimentation to find effective combos against hordes of Sentinels and supervillains. Its legacy stems from its ability to perfectly capture the feel of the comics, a vibrant tapestry of pixelated chaos that's still a blast to revisit.
Professor X's Danger Room is a training facility that can fully re-create environments in which the X-Men can practice their powers, similarly to the holodeck in Star Trek. One day, the danger room starts to go crazy, and randomly loading up dangerous simulations. It turns out that Magneto, the leader of the mutant Brotherhood and the main adversary of the X-men, has loaded a virus into the Danger Room's computer, and now the X-Men have to stop it.
