Always love meeting another MSH: WotG supporter! I swear, probably due to how late this game came out in the SNES lifespan, that it feels like hardly anyone gives it the attention and recognition it deserves. I like Mutant Apocalyse, but give me WotG any day of the week! BTW, I recently got into reading comics… I’ll have to post about that in the near future…

There’s a few things I really love about this game that I have to mention. One is that it’s story is really cool since it mixes up 2 of the Infinity saga stories together which also happen to be 2 of my top 10 events in Marvel history (Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War). The Magus being in there along with the doppelgangers was such a great detail and made it that much better. When both of those comic events were happening, both me and 1 of my cousins were just ecstatic. I remember the first time seeing the Cosmic Beings such as Eternity and The Celestials, ohh my goodness! I would’ve loved to have seen them included in the game or at the very least a little cinematic or a mention but alas it was not meant to be. I used to go to his house and just read those issues over and over again, thankfully he wound up trading me his issues of both of those along with the third story of that series, Infinity Crusade. I love that the game also has the Marvel Super Heroes Arcade game storyline in there too pretty much, which was the Infinity Gauntlet. I love how Thanos takes the gems from you and he’s the final boss. You’re right about how it would’ve been awesome if they had a 1v1 mode in there, I thought the same thing. A 2 player storyline mode would’ve been nice too. This is another one of those games that’s very underrated, and rarely anybody I know or knew had any knowledge of this games existence. I myself wondered if I was tripping when I would remember it but thankfully it’s real. IDK if you ever read the original stories back in the days or recently but they’re really worth a read. They had a bunch of crossovers, some were pretty flipping cool like Dr Strange and Silver Surfer which pretty much kicked it all off as far as Infinity Gauntlets story is concerned. Thankfully you can read a lot of the old comics online and there’s a couple of tpb’s that collect them all together for your convenience. The uniqueness of choosing whoever you wanted of the 5 heroes is something that’s not really done too much afaik at least, and the replayability it adds is another great thing. I had found your site a while back and I wondered what story it was that led me to your site since I only would read and never comment. I’m thinking this could’ve been it maybe? Anyways, thanks again for talking about this GEM of a game (pun intended)
