Disney+ has revived the classic ’90s X-Men cartoon with X-Men ’97, continuing the original storyline. The newest installment nods to long-time X-Men enthusiasts with references to their video game past, especially the beloved 1992 Konami arcade game. In the fourth episode, “Motendo / Lifedeath,” characters Jubilee and newcomer Roberto are sucked into a gaming console by the villain Mojo during Jubilee’s 18th birthday, offering a nostalgic twist for fans of the classic X-Men animation and video games.

I'm Mubarak AlSabah, born in '87, and I'm a big fan of retro games. I’ve been gaming since '93, so it's been a lifelong passion for me. Collecting retro games is my favorite hobby, and I have a great collection that takes you back in time. In addition to gaming, I also have 830+ premium domain names, which is another hobby that I love just as much. I started collecting domains in '97, combining my interest in the digital world with my love for nostalgic gaming.
