STORY / GAMEPLAYThe main antagonist is Magneto, who plans to unleash an electromagnetic pulse on the Earth that will disrupt the magnetic fields and create havoc on the world's electrical systems ushering in a Dark Age for Earth's non-mutant population. With the promise of a mutant-run planet, the X-Men's most formidable foes join forces against Magneto.
You can choose between one of six X-Men members (e.g. Wolverine and Psylocke) or four of their enemies (for a total of ten selectable characters) and proceed to compete in a series of one-on-one matches, before battling Juggernaut and Magneto. Each character has its own abilities, such as super Jumps, the ability to roll away or towards an opponent after falling, the ability to pursue an opponent after performing a throwing attack for follow-up attacks etc. After selecting a character, the you can choose between "manual" or "automatic" blocking too. It also support a two-player combat (shared keyboard) and all of the fighters that were included in the arcade game. The game runs impressively in DOS!
