Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge is a notoriously challenging 16-bit action-platformer for the Sega Genesis. Trapped in a deadly amusement park constructed by the villain Arcade, you must navigate a series of brutal, character-specific levels using the unique abilities of Spider-Man, Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, and Gambit.
How to Play
You begin by completing Spider-Man’s opening level, which unlocks the ability to choose and play through the distinct stages of each X-Men character. In your browser, default Sega Genesis controls apply: use the Arrow Keys to move, Enter to Start, and Z, X, C to jump, attack, and use special abilities.
Tips for Survival
- Take full advantage of Spider-Man’s wall-crawling and web-swinging to avoid spikes and environmental hazards.
- In Wolverine’s stages, his mutant healing factor allows him to slowly recover health if you can find a safe spot to stand still.
- Cyclops can aim his optic blasts in multiple directions, which is essential for taking out distant enemies before they can reach you.
