Not Understanding How To Play X-Men On Sega Genesis: A Review

X-Men (Sega Genesis, 1993)

It's X-Men!

I was so excited! It's all my favorite pals from the TV show I loved!

I didn't know a software program could mock me

Looking back at longplay videos for this game, I’m realizing I never made it out of the beginning jungle level with Gambit. I had no idea where to go. I didn’t know how often I could use my friends in battle. I was getting hit constantly.

It didn't even teach me anything

I would love to say it was some teachable moment. "Oh take a breath and catch your bearings...maybe read the manual." Didn't matter. I was flailing in a shallow pool and letting a video game watch me drown.

2.2 / 10

I honestly still don't know what I'm parsing when I watch others play this game.
