Nice find. You should look into replacing the capacitors on the game board. The original capacitors Konami used for these 6 player X-men cabinets were known for overheating, getting very hot, and leaking onto the board. One of tell tale signs is the audio becoming messed up or not working.
Yeah, we replaced the audio custom on our 4 Player X-Men machine a while back, so we're probably going to do it to this one too. The audio is working on both channels though, so it probably has a little life left in it.
SOOOOO. BIIIIIIG. I have seen one of these in person and the scale in video does not donit justice.......and whats even better than a gigantic cabinet is the fact the Sam referred to it as RAD. 🎉
Dang, that is nice. I played the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade more than X-Men, but a big part of that was that the six player X-Men was not around very much. When it was, I always tried to get a few quarters in it.
We've never been big fans of the TMNT arcade, but the X-Men was always awesome. The extra real estate on the six player makes for a much more chaotic experience!
Thank you! Yeah I'm not sure if we'll be able to duplicate this level of luck again. Hopefully, this game will never leave our game room now that it is in.
We first played it at Magfest. The machine is so ingrained in Magfest culture, I think last Magfest there were three there in various states of completeness. One complete original, one with a flat screen in the backbox, and one that just was a podium with a flat screen on a tripod.

Merry X-Men!!
Best opening ever!

This loaded up with 6 guys at the arcade was epic. Usually a huge crowd around too. So cool.
Hopefully soon we'll get to have six people on it and do a full playthrough!
Congratulations! Such an amazing cab
Thank you! It's definitely a true centerpiece. It literally can't go anywhere else other than dead center!
I am so excited for you that you found that. I know you had been looking for a bit. Thats a massive game, but such a cool centerpiece to a collection.

Congrats on the pickup you all. I have only seen 3 of these in my life.

Grail purchase for many players, grats
Thank you!
This is so sick man!
Thanks! Just needs a little bit of audio work to be 100%
I wish i had that luck
Yeah we are so happy we scored a 6-player! Holy grail (for Sam)
I used to play the 4P version of this...I had no idea they made a 6P version! Has to be the most P ever available in one arcade cabinet?
There are a couple other six player games out there, but they certainly aren't portable! Check out the galaxian 3 theater!
Congratulations on the new edition. Time to add a room on to the house 🪚🔧
Don't even joke, we've not only discussed it, but we've modelled too. Most likely won't be a thing for a long time if ever....
@@retrobotics 🙂 I understand. I’d love to have 100 cabinets but I don’t have that much space either. Cheers to a Happy new year 🍻
