X-Men for the Sega Genesis, released in 1993, is a platform action game based on the Marvel Comics superhero team, the X-Men.
The game allows one or two players to control any of four pre-chosen X-Men: Gambit, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Cyclops.
Each character has unique abilities, such as Wolverine's retractable claws, Gambit's bo staff, Cyclops' optic blasts, and Nightcrawler's teleportation.
The game takes place in the Danger Room, a training area for the X-Men inside the X-Mansion, where a virus has infected the system, and the X-Men must eliminate it.

The game features several levels, including the Savage Land, Shi’Ar Empire, Excalibur Lighthouse, Ahab’s World, and Mojo’s Future Crunch, leading up to a final battle with Magneto.
Players can also call upon other X-Men characters like Storm, Iceman, Archangel, and Rogue for support.
The game's soundtrack was composed by Fletcher Beasley using the G.E.M.S. system, which allowed direct playback of sounds through the Sega Genesis.

X-Men for the Sega Genesis was well-received, selling over a million copies.
It was ranked number 7 on GameTrailers' "Top 10 X-Men Games" list and was included in IGN's "Fifteen Really, Really, Really Hard Games" list due to its challenging gameplay.
The game is known for its difficulty, particularly in the level "Mojo's Crunch," where players must lightly press the Genesis' reset button to progress.

The game can be found for sale on platforms like eBay, with various options including cartridges and complete sets with manuals and boxes.
It is also available as a ROM for Sega Genesis on sites like Emu-Land.net.
The game's unique mechanic of requiring a console reset to progress in the final level has been a point of discussion among players.
