But like Marvel's multitude of mutants, there are some games that are just more memorable than others.

So the 10 you see here are the best that there's ever been.

Hey, I'm nervous, Nick for screw tax.

Top 10 X Men games.

I know what you're thinking.

Game gear, Nick.

Really, but X Men game Masters Legacy is the middle child of a trilogy, but it's a trilogy whose siblings are not so great.

But this came.

This came his really great.

There's something about playing games on a handheld that I think is taken for granted today.

Ensure its sacrifices designed for portability.

But X Men games only need a few key things to succeed.

Like all the characters, diverse levels, Wolverine and as long as you had enough batteries, game Masters legacy had it all.

Cyclops Storm, Wolverine Gambit, Roque Bishop, Phoenix and even cable was a hidden figure in the Pyramid pyramid, in which you fight Apocalypse and for a hand held it was fun enough to keep you entertained on those long car trips.

Characters had unique abilities, bosses were varied, and there were even these awesome character Portrait's in between levels.

Now where did I put those batteries?

Number.

Now wait a second.

Hold on, Hold on, Hear me out here Me up.

You're right.

This is not explicitly an X Men game, but it is a game that features the X Men.

In fact, Lego Marvel superheroes might have the largest roster on this list, especially if you count the villains.

Combine that with its open world nature, and this is V X Men game from the last generation.

So if you've ever wanted to play the role of Ice Man sliding around the city or Colossus roaring his way through downtown New York, there isn't a better game for you.

There's also find the Blackbird fighting sentinels and chilling with Wolverine.

The story in this game is built around some of the greatest moments in X Men history, not only taking you to Professor Xavier's school, forget to Children, but letting you hover around as the mutant genius himself.

Oh, you can also terrorize Central Park in your wheelchair by disintegrating hot dog carts with your mind.

Checkmate.

DC Comics.

Yes, You are looking at quick.

And yes, this is going somewhere, I promise.

Quake was one of the early games that launched the PC modern community, and one of those minds is coming in at number eight.

X Men.

The ravages of Apocalypse is one of quakes, more memorable Mods as a twist.

This game isn't about you being the X Men, but rather killing the X Men.

Magneto has created some crazy sideboard whose hands can shape shift into guns.

And its mission is to destroy all the clones of the X Men that Apocalypse created.

It's got a strong roster, and although you're playing the role of this completely new character, there are so many nods that make this game feel like a true passion project like the fact that Wolverine always comes back to life after you kill him, and many continues to hunt it down for the rest of the level.

While it's ah, lesser known game, it is one of those really cool experiences that's rooted in what it means to be an X number seven.

Say what you will that Capcom, but when it comes to fighting games.

They've always done a great job incorporating X Men into the larger Capcom universe.

Well, I mean, until they just get in anymore.

But X Men versus Street Fighter in particular, is one of the more significant, if not the most significant crossovers in video game history.

Outside of the idea hitting character, a full blown crossover game.

Have you really been done like this before?

X.

Men versus Street Fighter brought a crazy cast of fighting game characters matched up with amazing mutants in all of them have their own unique powers.

Thanks to the popularity of arcades in the nineties, this game was an instant hit with its beautiful spry rides, insane aerial combos and team based fighting like the introduction of assist characters or the option of unleashing both hyper combo simultaneously.

Thanks to its success, X Men versus Street Fighter would be at the forefront of a wave of crossover fighters and includes the goat Marvel vs Capcom two.

That's greatest of all time, in case you didn't know.

Now that's the kind of legacy that makes a great X Men number six.

Even though cap comes, hands were busy with working on fighting games at the time, that didn't stop them from making an X Men team beat him up exclusively for SMEs.

X Men Mutant Apocalypse have you playing as one of five X men, navigating a mix of character, specific levels and still awesome boss fights as well.

It even at street fighter style inputs toe activate their mutant abilities as a platform exclusive.

There really weren't many X Men games like it for its time, and it certainly was one of the best looking Beat him up on the Super Nintendo.

Even better looking than maximum carnage, though I know you think of that game were fun.

It's also one of the few X men action games that lets you play his beast, which is notable because come on, it's beast.

The dudes, one of the O g X men and look, he can walk upside down.

Okay, He's basically just Blanka in a beast skin, But still, how many extra games that you play as Blue Fraser Number five, one of the greatest ideas that came out of the sixth console generation with these team based RPGs like X Men Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

But for X Men fans.

The one that did it best had to be X Men legends to rise of Apocalypse.

In it, you choose a team of four and switch between them in real time.

It even had multi Player, which led it to three buddies joining for cola with it being an RPG, you complete missions to earn experience, which you then use to make your meetings.

Ridiculously, Opie.

But what sent legends to apart from its predecessor is that it not only brought a stronger cast and better powers, but it also had the plot twist of the X Men teaming up with the Brotherhood to defeat Apocalypse, a sort of ultimate alliance.

If you will, I'll admit, though the voice acting is pretty terrible.

Let's get one thing straight.

Boy Scout.

I don't take orders from you, but you can't deny that this was and remains to this day, the definitive RPG experience for X Men fans number.

I know plenty of you out there are like me, and grew up is a Nintendo Fanboys who didn't give the poor genesis too much of a chance.

Sadly, you and I missed out on the second game, simply called X Men you Well, unless that kid up the street had it, You know that the kid that you pretended to be friends with because he had a genesis.

Anyway, X men on Genesis for me was my first encounter with the mutants on a home console.

It had these huge sprites in this E V Games kiosk in the mall and being a Wolverine fan, it called out to me.

The first thing I had to try was to sneak to the cause in and out.

In that moment, I never wanted an X Men gain more, but it also had other greats like Gambit, psych ops and Nightcrawler, plus support characters like Storm and Arcangel ensured immune powers were managed in a separate meter, including Wolverine's claws.

But it was still a great X Men experience altogether, especially for the home console market, which until that point had been total garbage.

I'll put it this way.

If I had a genesis back in 93 this would have been one of my first purchases.

It's not often that the video game adaptation of a movie ends up being better than the source material, but that's exactly the case with X men ORIGINS Wolverine, 1/3 person action game developed by Ravens it delivers on the often sought after ultraviolence that will be is known for other games and cartoons usually failed to capture his brutality.

But in this movie tie in of all things, they completely nailed it even across screens.

Terran enemies apart.

Executing soldiers in the environments are getting up close, and personal soldiers are like food for wolverines, fists and brains.

Fists are always hungry.

Not only will there strategic dismemberment make you queasy, but Wolverine will take a fair share of damage himself and Wallace, a game based on a movie.

It actually dives deeper in the Wolverines backstory.

Plus, it's got his classic costume.

Now.

If Onley Raven got to make a sequel, I mean, the crappy movie got two of them.

We are owed this rave in.

Take a message to your boss.

Number two.

Now, out of all the licensed arcade games, X Men is not the most popular.

But the arcade Seen couldn't deny how memorable that six player arcade cabinet waas.

It was a beat him up so awesome it needed to screens for the full experience, and it's gorgeous to the whole crew is there, including dazzler.

Probably a bad choice.

In retrospect, we still had Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and Colossus.

Speaking of which, if you went to Mag best back in the day, Colossus is more probably sounds familiar.

Ex Motorcade is just a perfect X Men story, with a colorful cast of characters fighting villains who welcome you to die and almost nothing else in The X Men compendium feels like X Men Arcade, making it a unique experience that's also easy to play with it being big enough for six players.

The whole game feels massive, as you and your friends are X men off to beat the Brotherhood of Evil meetings.

Hey Editor, one more colossus role for the road number one.

Professor X originally started The X Men in part to protect the world from the maki nations of crazed mutants.

So that requires the team to, you know, get in a lot of fights.

So, of course, the number one X Men game would be devoted to Fighting X Men.

Children of the atom completely delivers on the childhood fantasy of which means would win in a fight.

It also lets you Duke it out with baddies like Silver Samurai or a Sentinel, the dude's huge and for the time period, it was definitely the best looking fighter on the market at sure was experimental and a little Jaenke.

But for fans of the X men to get a chance to berserk a barrage through Omega Red Oh, there's no better game for you.

Let's also not forget that.

Worried not for Children of the atom success.

We wouldn't have seen nearly as many X men in fighting games or even just Marvel characters as a whole.

God bless you, cat Come our Secret Number 11 goes to X Men to clone wars for Genesis, this gem features huge sprites and awesome characters, but I'll be enough.

No states like screen just get dumped into a level at random.

And if you don't get the one you want, you've got to hit reset until you do.
