The plot is narrated through the Cerebro and Professor X's communication with each other. The game is based on the current story arc from the comics at the time of development. Players begin the game with eight lives (meaning nine attempts) that are shared by all characters, with no way to gain more. These powers can be used to reach hidden health pickups (which take the form of a double helix) or as a shortcut. In addition to these powers, each character has various lesser skills, maneuvers and quirks which make gameplay a different experience with each (see above). The attacks increase in power when the character has nine or ten bars of health and can perform different functions if the character is in the air. Some of the mutant attacks can be charged to a greater effect by holding down the power button. Unlike the preceding game, there is no energy bar that limits the amount of mutant power attacks a player can use. After completing the first stage, the title screen and credits roll and the player is given the option to switch characters.Įach character has a 'mutant power attack' which can be used in combat. The game begins with a cold open the first level begins as soon as the game is turned on with a random character (depending on the direction the player pressed on the controller's D-Pad). The game is based on the adventures of the Marvel Comics superhero team, the X-Men. X-Men 2: Clone Wars is a 1995 platform game developed by Headgames and released by Sega of America for the Mega Drive/Genesis as a sequel to the 1993's X-Men. Unfortunately, this game is currently available only in this version. With seven distinct versions, it also has the largest number of licensed versions of any console.If you think that the game in your browser does not behave as it should, try to choose another online emulator from this table. The Genesis also supported a number of add-on components (32X, CD, Power Base Converter), making it one of the most flexible systems ever developed. The Genesis could do things that the NES simply couldn't. Sega also focused attention on its better graphics, speed, and sound, especially after the release of Sonic. Sega marketed the Genesis as hip, cool, and edgy. These efforts were often successful, Nintendo Exclusivity Clause not-withstanding.
In addition to porting over popular coin-op games, Sega executives worked hard to lure developers away from Nintendo. The Genesis was developed with the American market and consumer in mind. They are even available for download on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console. Genesis games are re-released even today as part of collector's editions for the PS2, PSP, and other systems.
Games continued to be released internationally as recently as 2002. It was the first successful 16-bit system, with a 14-year lifespan second only to the Nintendo Game Boy. It also inaugurated the Console Wars of the 1990s.
Released in 1989, the Sega Genesis heralded the coming of the 16-bit era.
