The Good, the Bad, and the Juggernaut, Bitch: A Look at X-Men Games

7. X-Men: Children of the Atom (Sega Saturn, Arcade 1995)
Playable Characters: Colossus, Cyclops, Iceman, Psylocke, Storm, Wolverine, Omega Red, Sentinel, Silver Samurai, Spiral, Juggernaut, Magneto
The Premise: It's the first fighting game produced by Capcom to use the Marvel franchise.
The good: Terrific voice-acting (using some of the same voices from the series), and a real dedication to the characters from the lore. Many of the sprites and movesets would be utilized in the many, many Capcom fighting games that would feature the X-Men.
The bad: Some character imbalances and a small character roster are about the only thing you can knock it for, even today.
Worth it?
