| history | X-Men - Children of the Atom (c) 1994 Capcom. Back when Magneto and Juggernaut were boss characters, ten X-Men characters fought to challenge them! - TECHNICAL - Capcom Play System II hardware (CPS II) Game ID : CP-S II No. 08 Main CPU : 68000 (@ 11.8 Mhz), Z80 (@ 8 Mhz) Sound Chips : Q-Sound (@ 4 Mhz) Screen orientation : Horizontal Video resolution : 384 x 224 pixels Screen refresh : 59.63 Hz Palette colors : 4096 Players : 2 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 6 = > [1] LP, [2] MP, [3] HP = > [4] LK, [5] MK, [6] HK - TRIVIA - Released in December 1994. It is the first fighting game produced by Capcom using characters under license from Marvel Comics, widely praised for its faithfulness in capturing the spirit of its namesake comics, by using colorful animation and voice actors (see Staff section for more information) from the 'X-Men' animated series. All characters are coming from Marvel comic books (except Akuma) : Akuma (Gouki in Japan) - "Super Street Fighter II Turbo" ("Super Street Fighter II X" in Japan) Colossus (aka Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin) - Giant-Size X-Men #1 Cyclops (aka Scott Summers) - X-Men #1 Juggernaut (aka Cain Marko) - X-Men #12 Iceman (aka Robert 'Bobby' Drake) - Uncanny X-Men #1 Magneto (aka Erik 'Magnus' Lehnsherr) - X-Men #1 Omega Red (aka Arkady Rossovich) - X-Men #4 Psylocke (aka Elizabeth 'Betsy' Braddock) - New Mutants Annual #2 Sentinel - Uncanny X-Men #14 Silver Samurai (aka Kenichiro Harada) - Daredevil #111 Spiral (aka Rita Ricochet) - Longshot #1 Storm (aka Ororo Munroe) - Giant Size X-Men #1 Wolverine (aka James 'Logan' Howlett) - Incredible Hulk #180 Unlike previous incarnations of X-Men video games, X-Men - Children of the Atom also allowed players to helm popular X-Men villains, such as Omega Red; the mutant hunting android Sentinel; Spiral, lackey of Mojo; and Silver Samurai. Also, because this game was released around the same time as "Super Street Fighter II Turbo", programmers also included Akuma (see Tips And Tricks section for more information). The game, along with SSFII Turbo, is considered as one of the first fighting games to popularize the now often-used ideas of 'Super Jumps', 'Super Combos', and 'Tech. Hit', which meant that an attempted grab or throw had been negated by the opponent. Furthermore, the game was the precursor to the Capcom 'Vs. series', with elements and characters from this game having been combined with "Street Fighter Alpha - Warriors' Dreams" to create "X-Men vs. Street Fighter". Sony Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album (X-Men Arcade Game Track - SRCL-3120) on 24/03/1995. - UPDATES - Revision 1 : * Software version : 1.00. * Japanese release only (94/12/08).

Defeat your opponents two rounds in a row (don't lose a round), having 'first attack' on each round. You must also win the final round of each battle with your Hyper-X. * Continue Attacking : Press Start immediately after winning the match to continue hitting the defeated character. - STAFF -
