X-Men (4 Players ver EBA)
X-Men is a side-scrolling beat-em-up for up to four players. The X-Men's mission is to find and rescue Professor X, who has been captured by evil mutants and is now being held prisoner by Magneto.
Each X-Man character has an 'Attack', 'Jump' and 'Mutant Power' button. The mutant power attack is a powerful special move unique to each X-Man. While it inflicts a lot of damage on the enemies, the trade-off is that each usage removes 3 bars from the players health meter (a full meter has 10 bars). Each level ends with a face-off against a powerful mutant boss character.
The game has six stages, with the final one set on 'Asteroid M', Magneto's base. The defeated mutant bosses from the previous levels each make an appearance (albeit in a less powerful form) before the final encounter with Magneto himself.
Players can chose from 6 X-Men characters, they are:
Cyclops
Colossus
Wolverine
Storm
Nightcrawler
Dazzler

UBB)' and clones '(World 2 Players)' to '(Asia 2 Players ver. AAA)', '(Japan 2 Players)' to '(Japan 2 Players ver. JAA)' and '(US 6 Players)' to '(US 6 Players ver. UCB)'.

- 3rd July 2005: David Haywood - Two screen games... Simple right? You either have twice as many boards, double the number of video chips, or have a bit in the spritelists indicating which screen to draw on. Enter Konami, who instead of taking one of the simple options appear to have decided to drive a double screen board using one set of standard graphic chips. XMen 6 Player version (and I suspect Run and Gun) both seem to do this. XMen, which I've been looking at appears to render alternate frames to different screens (hence why it seems to run at 30fps, even the single screen version). It seems to have several copies of video ram, which may be buffers, and I'm guessing it points the graphics chip at a different one each frame. With those guesses in mind I attempted to hook up both screens, with some success. X-Men now boots, and displays graphics, however the tilemaps on each screen lag each other quite badly, and sometimes the incorrect sprite frame is rendered on one monitor or the other. The way forward from this point, I'm not sure... I'll keep looking, the switching mechanism is wrong for sure, and I imagine there must be a way of selecting the buffer to render from (as to prevent the glitches I'm seeing) but its not clear at all at this stage. Also any linescroll effects are missing from the 2nd tilemap, which would seem to indicate to me that we're probably rendering from the wrong place.
