Unopened box for the DOS video game X-Men II: The Fall of the Mutants, developed and released by Paragon Software in 1990 for IBM PC-compatible computers. The front of the box, 8″ x 9.5″ x 1.5″, features terrific X-Men imagery by Marvel comic book artist Chris Wozniak, and the back features an image of The Watcher explaining the game’s storyline, a list of playable characters and features, and four gameplay screens. Encapsulated and graded by VGA with a score of “85+ NM+.”
Loosely based on ‘The Fall of the Mutants’ storyline from issues 225-227 of The Uncanny X-Men, the game required players to select a team of five X-Men from a roster of 15 and traverse a number of strange locales in order to rescue fellow team members Forge and Storm from the clutches of a terrible demon known as the Adversary. A rare unopened copy of X-Men II: The Fall of the Mutants, which represents the third X-men video game ever released, following the 1989 games The Uncanny X-Men (NES) and X-Men: Madness in Murderworld (Commodore 64, PC).
