X-Men Cartoon Maker is a video game tie-in to the series X-Men. It is an educational game that allows players to create art.
Background[]
The game was developed by John Semper, Jr., the story editor of the animated series, for Knowledge Adventure and Instinct Corporation. They had previously worked on the Spider-Man Cartoon Maker, which was a tie-in to Semper's Spider-Man series. The game featured artwork, backgrounds, music, and sound effects from the X-Men series.
The player would place the characters into the backgrounds and choose from an average of three different animations. It featured characters from the show. The player could then add props to the scene.
Players could have the X-Men fight against their villains. Those with microphones could even narrate their own stories. Word balloons could be used for sound effects and dialogue. Users could also add their own music from their music libraries.
It was geared towards children and required minimal skill to use.
The cartoons could be saved and viewed by anyone without the program.
The game was released in 1995 for the Windows 3.1 operating system. As such, it is no longer able to play without an emulator.
