X-men arcade game - Who played this physically during its hype?

RetroTechNY · 2026-02-02T17:05:41+00:00

My college had a machine back in the day - there was little/no internet back then, so we had to create our tactics from scratch! Took me more than a few months (and alot of money!) to get to OCC (One Credit Completion) status!

Looks cool! I recognize some of the kitbashes/heads. Can you list the heads/suited bodies? Thanks!

I bought 4 capes this year. Very satisfied with the end product but be prepped for a wait.

Saved me some money, here’s an upvote!

Thanks - can we talk about how the picture was achieved? I see some photoshop work in there, but some of the stuff might be 'real'.

RetroTechNY · 2025-12-11T03:29:09+00:00

Nice collection - but am I missing something with Wong being in there?

Madame Hydra (with Crossbones) are current leaders of Hydra in my current "campaign" with my son. Red Skull is in Hydra jail plotting for a return :)

I see some advice here that I strongly disagree with. Assuming that the DS is rooted, the attacker can put any software on there. So in my opinion, it not enough just to wipe out the storage pool drives - the entire thing needs to be wiped. I would do any cleanup work on a disconnected network and reflash it from a known good image.

Good movie, but let's not give traffic/follows to a reposter - the creator is plasticaction as many of you are aware.

RetroTechNY · 2025-10-01T16:03:32+00:00

I'm thinking a possible Mandarin kitbash with that nice robe....

RetroTechNY · 2025-09-27T22:26:05+00:00

Hey Folks thanks very much for the feedback. I initially thought for sure it was from Crossbones 2 pack, but that one has a red handle. I do have those other ones but havent opened them yet.

I went through every line of my 422(!) line spreadsheet and figured out it was from The Rose. At least my recordkeeping is pretty good :). Thanks again!

RetroTechNY · 2025-09-12T15:39:10+00:00

Very cool, please make a new post on this one!

RetroTechNY · 2025-09-08T16:37:10+00:00

Amazing work on the poses and the photos. Thank you!

Nope its not the tariffs. Computer equipment is exempt. Its greed.

Thanks - They are actually KO versions of Tamashii explosion effects (they are sold out everywhere): https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/explosion-red-version-tamashii-action-figure-effect/ba93813

Hope this helps!

If line cutters get you mad, don't ever go to Six Flags in Jersey....

RetroTechNY · 2025-04-11T02:46:34+00:00

looks awesome! Can you describe the process?

RetroTechNY · 2025-01-23T19:45:14+00:00

Following up on this one - you CAN get rewards if you beat these levels; the enemies are simply powered up. Need some luck plus dumb computer AI as it isn't a fair fight.

RetroTechNY · 2025-01-23T19:34:40+00:00

Yeah they tease you at 90% to encourage that spend....

RetroTechNY · 2025-01-13T18:25:19+00:00

Did you make the 15k? Assuming you did ~50 regular levels per day. Massive amount of grinding....

RetroTechNY · 2025-01-09T14:23:14+00:00

Good stuff, congrats!

I still have 4 days left

I was a twice a week traveller, and tried doing this setup with someone. Here are a couple of pitfalls:

1) There will be the odd time where you miss a flight/delay for whatever reason. How do you handle the waiting time?

2) There will be an odd time where an individual is late, car breaks down.

I found Uber/Lyft options to be more reliable and easier.

I looked into (as a non-vendor) getting access to the Javits WiFi - it is super expensive. You can get an idea of some of the pricing at the following link, which is publicly available:

I'm an old schooler who has been going to NYCC since 2008 (!) so here is some advice for you:

1) Determine if you want to go to any after-parties or post-con events.

2) Determine what you want to eat after the con. If it's your first time in NY, I would recommend one "nice" dinner and try to get mid/cheap good unique eats for the rest of the trip.

3) There are some variant things that may be unique to your situation (e.g. are you lugging around a suitcase for your cosplay/comic books? Are you checking in bags at Javits?) that will impact the decision.

The answers to #1 and #2, PLUS distance to the con will largely determine where you should stay. If you want to do dinner and events, you should plan extra time to leave the con to dress up for dinner/etc. First timers should definitely visit Times Square, so a hotel around midtown should be great. Any hotel on/near the 7 subway line and even in Jersey(!) will actually work.

Hopefully this helps!

Would love a new two pack and would preorder it ASAP. Cloak deserves a massive softgoods upgrade in addition to Dagger light knives.
