Marvel’s Look at the Star Titles

🕹️ X-Men: The Arcade Game (1992) — The legendary 6-player arcade brawler that defined a generation. Now fully playable online with friends worldwide — this alone justifies the collection.

🛡️ Captain America and the Avengers (1991) — A beloved beat ’em up letting you play as Cap, Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Vision. The SNES/Genesis versions are a completely different game from the NES version — both included.

🕸️ Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage + Separation Anxiety — The iconic duo’s 16-bit side-scrolling brawlers, based on fan-favourite Marvel storylines. Carnage has never looked so pixelated — and so fun.

🤝 Spider-Man & X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge — Four versions of this crossover classic, where Spidey and the X-Men must escape Arcade’s deadly Murderworld. Four platforms. One brutal trap.

🌊 Silver Surfer (NES) — Notoriously punishing, but universally praised for its incredible NES soundtrack. Consider it the Dark Souls of this collection.
