Konami X-Men Six-Player Arcade Cabinet Review! - John's Arcade On The Road! OMGWTF!

Damn, I want one of these beasts. His looks like it is in decent shape too. Thanks for the video.
 
Here are my comments I put on the video, for you guys here:

This game is awesome, I loved playing the 6 played back in the day. The game is based on the pilot for a Saturday morning cartoon that was never produced. It was a few years later that Fox made the 90's cartoon that we all remember.

Also depending on the timing of how you press the jump and kick buttons together you get different attacks. If you press them at the same time, jump then kick before you peak in your jump, or after you peak in your jump. It is the same in all the Konami Beat-em-ups.

John, You should check out the Darius. It has 3 monitors stitched together.

Here is a Darius screen shot:

Oh, and here is Darius Burst, which came out a year or two ago. A few arcades here in the USA have this awesome game:

Of course it isn't nearly as cool as the original cabinet:

Major Overkill out.
 
Love your videos. Let's just hope I never find one of these cheap, I don't have the room or the back for it.
 
Great blog! You should add an RSS feed to it so it's easy for people can follow it easily.

Thanks! I should be building a new site soon with a real CMS. I'm currently doing the site old school with HTML. :)

Darius is cool. I played one once somewhere, was it at Funspot? The game isn't that great, though, is it?

I can't remember if funspot has it. If I get Darius I would get a darius 2 board for it, the game is more refined. Darius is still a great game, but hard because when you die it takes you back in the level. Darius 2 you contiue right where you are.

Great video, that is still one of my grails, although it won't physically fit into my game room. Many fond memories of that one. Love my HUO 4 player, but that 6 player still makes my heart go pitter pat...
 
Great video John. As you remember X-men made ther top 50 list of games in at number 20. And because Darius has been mentioned now, I'll point out that it made the cut of Grail games. ;)
 
Those Darius games look fun. I will have to try and get one of them working on my triple screen sim racing setup. I doubt the new one has been emulated, it would be awesome to play ;)

It doesn't need to be emulated because the Taito Type X2 is just a pc. The game just needs to be cracked. It might already be a bunch of the type X and X2 games already have been. All you would need is a computer with a dual head setup.
