Spiderman and the X-Men Edition

SNEScapades #37, Spiderman and the X-Men Arcade's Revenge. For a guy named Arcade, his video game ain't great. Plus Road Runner's Death Valley Rally, Two franchises that deserved better.

Looney Toons! Spiderman! X-Men! All in one place! Wow! What could possibly go wrong?

It turns out a lot. Though both Arcade’s Revenge and Road Runner’s Death Valley Rally have their high points, we’re gonna discuss the flaws that ultimately prevent these games from being classics. But the calamities aren’t relegated to the games themselves as both of these games are tied to some disastrous events for the developers that made them. We’ll talk about that too.

This one was a bit hard for SteampunkLink as he loved Arcade’s Revenge as a kid, but acknowledges it doesn’t hold up.
