X-Men is the classic 1992 side-scrolling beat ’em up developed by Konami for the arcade. Based on the animated series and comics of the era, you choose from iconic mutants like Wolverine, Cyclops, Colossus, Storm, Nightcrawler, or Dazzler to battle through Magneto’s forces. This specific “2 Players Ver Jaa” release is the Japanese 2-player configuration, which has the advantage of letting you freely select your character before the game begins, rather than being locked to whichever coin slot you used on the larger 4- or 6-player cabinets.
How to Play
Your objective is to defeat waves of Sentinels and classic villains to stop Magneto from destroying human civilization. In the browser emulator, insert a coin using Shift, then press Enter to join. Use the Arrow Keys to move your character. Use Z to attack and X to jump. Pressing both attack and jump simultaneously unleashes your character’s devastating mutant power, which clears nearby enemies but costs a small portion of your health.
Tips
- Save your mutant power for when you are completely surrounded or grabbed by enemies, as the health cost is usually less punishing than taking multiple normal hits.
- You can attack downed enemies. Once you knock a group of Sentinels to the ground, stand over them and continue pressing the attack button to deal extra damage before they stand back up.
