The first reference to the real X-Men video games comes when we actually get a close-up shot of the Motendo game system in Jubilee's room. Not only does it resemble one of his earlier versions of the 16-bit SEGA Genesis, but it also features a game cartridge inspired by artwork from two different video games, as shown below.
The image of the X-Men engaging in battle together until Wolverine reaches out comes from the original “X-Men” video game, released in 1993. In that game, the action mostly took place in the Danger Room. A virus infects the training facility and the safety restrictions meant to prevent the X-Men from being killed get out of control. Of course, Magneto ends up being the source of the virus, and the X-Men have to defeat him after they breach the unpredictable Danger Room.

However, there is one more element in the artwork from another game. Behind the X-Men is an image of Apocalypse with glowing red eyes and wide open mouth. This comes from “X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse,” where players control five of his X-Men through various levels of the Genosha Island complex (if you need a refresher on that location) , we will take care of it). A captured mutant. Villains such as Queen Brood and Tusk are also involved, but ultimately it is Apocalypse who is behind them. Of course, since this is his X-Men game, his other major threat will be Magneto, who threatens to destroy Genosha from Avalon's space station.
This is just the beginning of the video games in this episode, but first let's take a little detour.
