Time for a trip down memory lane...
I hadn't played this game in ages...I bought it back in 96, and was just getting into comic books at the time, and was mostly into X-Men...so I really didn't recognize any of the other characters.
Back in the 90's, I used to play it regularly...usually finishing it, but not really appreciating the story or the characters. In recent years only once or twice a year...usually not bothering after fighting the Magus...until a few days ago, when I decided to play all the way to the end after many years. I must say this is a GREAT game...especially if you're a comics fan. I found a new appreciation for this game.
I didn't realize how many characters were actually in this game...a lot of them are 'evil' doppleganger versions of heroes, since this game is loosely based on both Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War crossovers.
So for fun I'm going to run down a list of the characters.
Host
Adam Warlock
Heroes
Captain America
Wolverine
Spider-man
Iron Man
Hulk
Main Boss
Thanos
Lesser Bosses
Dr. Doom (w/Doombots)...you actually fight him twice
The Magus
Nebula
Blackheart
Evil Heroes
Hawkeye
Vision
Puck (extremely annoying)
Iron Man
Wolverine
Hulk
Daredevil
Sasquatch
Thing
She-Hulk
Silver Surfer (special bonus)
Cameo Appearance
Dr. Strange (a real treat)
Notably there are ZERO X-characters in this game...aside from Wolverine. This may piss a few people off but hey, they had their own bloody game (Mutant Apocalypse) a year earlier, so it was good that they weren't involved here.
So anyway, this game is highly recommended...if you can find it. Try looking on eBay, cause I can assure you that it won't be available anywhere else, and there's no chance in hell that I'll ever sell mine.
