An X-Men booth at the
2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo , promoting
X-Men: The Official Game
The
X-Men are a fictional
superhero team in
Marvel Comics '
Marvel Universe .
[1] The group debuted in 1963 in an
eponymous comic book series . Beginning in 1989, the characters appeared in
video game adaptations for
home consoles ,
handheld game consoles ,
arcades , and personal computers. An earlier game was planned for home computers in 1985, but the developer went out of business before its launch. The first games were released on
8-bit home platforms, and the series expanded onto handheld consoles and arcades in the early 1990s. Most X-Men games, especially those released in the 2000s, were released on several platforms. Several companies have developed entries in the franchise, including Paragon Software,
Software Creations ,
Konami , and
Capcom . The titles are
action games that pit the X-Men against Marvel
supervillains , typically taking the form of
beat 'em up and
fighting games . Each game features different groupings of X-Men heroes and villains, and typically allows players to control multiple characters.
One X-Men character,
Wolverine , has starred in several eponymous action games; the first game was the 1990
Wolverine . X-Men characters also frequently appear in Marvel games that focus on several of its comic book franchises, including
Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes and
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance . The franchise holds several
Guinness World Records , including most games based on a superhero group, first tag-team fighting game, first superhero first-person shooter, and most simultaneous players on an arcade game.
