Hopefully there will be a non LRGPS5 or Switch physical version. Not going to bother with LRG directly. Maybe if it's going to hit Amazon or another store.

 

[Kacho]

Can't say no to this

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Excelsior!

I do wish they'd collect those Sega Spider-Man games like Web of Fire though, great or not.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Down AF.

I'll always remember hearing that Colossus yell in almost every single arcade I'd go to in the 90s. I miss it, lol. ALL the arcade noise and you'd STILL make it out.

!!!!!!!

 

[Kacho]

Sad there's no Mutant Apocalypse

 

[MiguelItUp]

Sad there's no Mutant Apocalypse

I was hoping the Spider-Man arcade game was present too.

 

[Gambit2483]

Sad there's no Mutant Apocalypse

I thought about that and it was a Capcom published game so it's possible that it could've been an issue Konami didn't want to deal with or wasn't able to get Capcom to sign off on.

Very likely.

 

[Stuart360]

This is worth getting just for the X-Men Arcade game, awesome game. Well depending on how much this collection is of course.

Oh wow. I usually play this stuff "upright" on my cheap arcade knock-offs, but — I'm SO DOWN. EDIT—wish they had the 32X Spider-Man Web of Fire on this. EDIT EDIT—not Konami, I guess. Oh well.

 

[Esca]

X-men arcade, fuck yeah
Buy I'll grab it just for that on steam.
Fuck lmr still

 

[AmuroChan]

No thanks since it's LRG. They have some of the worst customer service ever. It's far too risky to buy from them as a collector since they won't do shit if the game gets damaged during shipping.

 

[mrpants]

Oh damn, nostalgia overload! I remember playing Captain America and the Avengers

 

[Revolutionary]

Lack of the X-Men Genesis games is a dealbreaker for me.

 

[Celcius]

If this will be available on Steam digitally then how is LRG involved?

 

[diemza]

 

[Signalis]

Fuck Silver Surfer, I still have nightmares about it from when I was a kid.

 

[Madonis]

THE AVENGERS! AMERICA STILL NEEDS YOUR HELP! Gotta love those amusing voice clips from the Avengers title.

I never played Maximum Carnage but the ads were all over gaming magazines back in the ancient days.

X-Men the Arcade Game was always the GOAT so seeing it here is awesome.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Most of those games have not aged well

 

[Panajev2001a]

• Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage
• Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F'ing finally! This is almost like getting Capcom to do a faithful World of Illusion remaster !

 

[IDKFA]

Finally.

X-men the arcade game is back. Worth it just for that game alone.

Silver Surfer is nice if people want to experience a game that increase their blood pressure.

Maximum Carnage, I remember this game being very hard? Maybe because I was young. I do remember that you could call in support, such as Cloak and Dagger, which was a nice feature.

Now I just need the Simpsons arcade game and Capcom's Alien vs Predator and I'll be able to re-live my arcade childhood.

 

[HYDE]

Missing the GOAT, aka X-Men 2: Clone Wars.

They gotta leave room for Part 2…smh

 

[rkofan87]

all published limited run games of digital releases

 

[DeVeAn]

Cool! Nice collection of games. I don't fuck with LRG. maybe when it hits $3.

 

[MrCunningham]

Missing the GOAT, aka X-Men 2: Clone Wars.

Missing:

- Spider-Man vs The Kingpin (Genesis/ Mega Drive) - I still think this is one of the best 16-bit Spider-Man games
- The Amazing Spider-Man vs The Kingpin (Sega CD/ Mega CD)
- X-Men - (Genesis / Mega Drive)
- X-Men 2 : The Clone Wars (Genesis/ Mega Drive)
- Spider-Man Web of Fire (32x) - This is not a great game, IMO.

Sega is completely absent from this collection, yet again. A common thread.

Also missing:
- The Incredible Hulk (Probe software) - SNES or Genesis/ MD
- X-Men Mutant Apocalypse (Capcom) - SNES
- Marvel Super Heroes - War of the Gems (Capcom) - SNES
- The Punisher (Capcom) - Preferably arcade, but there is also a Genesis/MD port

handheld games:

GameBoy:
- The Amazing Spider-Man (Rareware/ LJN)
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Bits Studio/ LJN)
- The Amazing Spider-Man 3 (Bits Studio/ LJN)
- The Punisher - The Ultimate Payback(Acclaim)

GameGear:
- X-Men (Sega)
- X-Men : GamesMaster's Legacy (Sega)
- X-Men : Mojo World (Sega)


But other than that, the two highlights of this collection are the Konami arcade port of X-Men (with online multiplayer) and the arcade version of Captan America and the Avengers. These two games alone are the pinnacle of weird Engrish dialogue.

Yeah Maximum Carnage is Ok... Separation Anxiety is not as good of a game, IMO. Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade's Revenge is a 'no thanks' to me. Silver Surfer has an incredible soundtrack by the Geoff and Tim Follin, but it is also a mediocre game attracted to it. Though I guess, Arcade's Revenge also has an incredible Follin soundtrack as well.

^ Also missing the Spider-man 95 game

I'm noticing a lot of people missed out on X-Men Arcade when it was released years ago on Xbox 360 and PS3 before delisting. Same with Simpsons arcade.

 

[ConkerTheSquirrel.]

• Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage

Oh hey, it's the only good game made by Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts!

 

[IDKFA]

I had them both on PS3, but when my PS3 died I had no way to access them.

That's why I'm glad X-Men is back. Hopefully Simpsons is next and after that, I'm praying for Alien vs Predator. The holy trilogy of 90s arcade beat em ups.

 

[ConkerTheSquirrel.]

Fuck Silver Surfer, I still have nightmares about it from when I was a kid.

Music was good, though!

 

[MrCunningham]

Overall, here's what you are getting with this collection...

• X-Men: The Arcade Game (Arcade version with 6-player online co-op and rollback netcode).
• Captain America and The Avengers (Arcade, Sega Genesis, and NES versions).
• Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage (SNES and Sega Genesis versions).
• Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety (SNES and Sega Genesis versions).
• Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, and Game Gear versions).
• Silver Surfer (NES version).

I guess it is neat that they are including both the 16-bit versions of Maximum Carnage. To be honest I generally prefer the SNES version of Maximum Carnage. The Genesis generally has the better home port of Captain America and the Avengers. But it is a shame that they didn;t go all the way and include the GameGear, GameBoy or SNES versions. Just for a competionists sake.

Arcade's Revenge is not really a good game by any measure, its' best attribute is the games soundtrack. The same can be said for Silver Surfer.

That's a good point. Capcom already has that one in their own collections. Shame about some of those Sega Marvel games... well all of them, really. Even the GameGear X-Men games are great in their own right.
