Revolution X
Revolution X is a arcade light gun game released in 1994 by Midway featuring the band Aerosmith.
The plot concerns a dystoptian 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 the vampish commander Helga, have declared war on youth culture and have banned music, television and video games. At a gig in Los Angeles at 'Club X', Aerosmith are captured by NON troops and the game begins.
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 soundtack consists of several Aerosmith songs continuously looped.
It was later released for home video game consoles by Acclaim. Despite the apparent popularity of the arcade machine, the console version is notorious for being widely regarded as one of the worst games ever made.
