Our take on MARVEL MaXimum Collection
Rather than focusing on one new campaign, this collection treats a superhero game library as an archive. Its structure places different arcade, console, and handheld versions side by side, while modern options such as rewinding and save states alter the usual demands of older releases.
What is MARVEL MaXimum Collection?
This anthology collects Marvel titles from the 1990s released for arcades, 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, and handheld systems.
Its genres include beat-'em-ups, platformers, shooters, and action games starring the X-Men, Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Venom, and Silver Surfer. The arcade X-Men game allows as many as six people to play together over the internet and uses Rollback Netcode. Separation Anxiety offers cooperative play for two. Extras include scanned packaging, instruction books, and vintage ads, along with a player for the games’ chip-tune music. Certain titles provide cheats, gameplay rewind, and save states. Visual settings include updated pixel graphics, CRT-style effects, and scanline filters.
