''Revolution X'' is an Arcade Light Gun game released in 1994 by Midway featuring the band Aerosmith .

The plot concerns a Dystopian version of 1996 where an alliance of government and corporate forces have taken control of the US in the guise of the "New Order Nation" (NON). The NON, with their vampish commander Mistress Helga (portrayed by Kerri Hoskins ), have declared war on youth culture and have banned music, television and video games. At a gig in Los Angeles at 'Club X', complete with neon sign, Aerosmith are captured by NON troops and the game begins. Later on, players are tasked with stopping the New Order bus.

The game is a standard side-scrolling Rail Shooter in which the player has to shoot everything on screen to rescue the kidnapped members of the band. The five members of Aerosmith are hidden in the game, and all must be found in order to see the real ending. Each one found adds to the end-of-level-bonus multiplier. The soundtrack consists of several Aerosmith songs continuously looped, including " Eat The Rich ", " Sweet Emotion ", " Toys In The Attic " and " Walk This Way ".

It was later released for home video game consoles by Acclaim . Despite the popularity of the arcade machines, the console versions helped the game, especially the SNES version, become widely regarded as One Of The Worst Games Ever .

TRIVIA


  • Wembley Stadium was the location of the final battle.

  • The game was originally developed to be based on '' Jurassic Park '', but Midway lost the rights to the property to Sega.

  • The NON(New Order Nation) logo is similar to the Nine Inch Nails NIN logo which both have the last N backwards.

  • Aerosmith's car is a black painted Lamborghini Countach .

  • There was also a plan to create a Revolution X game starring Public Enemy , but Midway believed the Aerosmith game lacked sufficient popularity to create another one like it.
