The Story Behind Revolution X
Revision 1.0 (6/16/1994) restored the missing speech samples and has the complete Pacific Rim level and completed two new crosshairs in P2 and P3 as well as the ability to toggle the CD Offer screen on and off by the operator. Midway then retooled its concept to revolve around Aerosmith. However, Sega acquired the rights instead and eventually released its own arcade game based on the film.
The title was scrapped after Marvel Comics sent a cease and desist letter to Midway, warning them that the title used the same name as a Marvel comic. Occasionally after a large in-game explosion, Steven Tyler can be heard saying "Toasty!" in a high-pitched voice in reference to an easter egg in Mortal Kombat II. Mortal Kombat II features an advertisement with the old Revolution X logo that arcade operators could toggle on and off.
How Revolution X Plays
The five members of Aerosmith are hidden in secret locations throughout the game. Finally, the players advance to Wembley Stadium for the final battle with the surviving NON forces and Head Mistress Helga. Players can also find hostages and free them throughout the game for extra points.
All members must be found in order to unlock the best ending and bonus level, in which the players go backstage after blowing up Helga, and can collect high-value Mammy Awards, as well as party with the band. When found, each member presents the player with a set of Aerosmith wings that increase the end-of-stage bonus. They must then destroy three NON facilities in the Amazon jungle, the Middle East and the Pacific Rim.
Why Players Still Load It Up
GamePro gave the arcade version a rave review, praising the ability to choose from multiple paths, the numerous secret items, the sharp graphics, and the Aerosmith soundtrack. Conversely, Spanish magazine Superjuegos gave the SNES version 91, regarding the scaling as one of the best in 16 bits, and the soundtrack as one of the best in the console. Scary Larry of GamePro panned the PlayStation version.
GamePros The Axe Grinder also criticized the graphics and controls, remarking that "Moving your target sight is a breeze, but accurately pinpointing small targets is difficult." He disagreed with EGM on the audio, describing the music as dull and the sound effects as infrequent and muted. The home versions of the game, however, were thoroughly condemned by critics. They particularly noted the absence of many graphical details from the arcade version and the awkward, sluggish movement of the control cursor.
