It doesn't seem to have had a very wide arcade release, and there were no console versions.
For a game specifically based on the Galactic Storm storyline, those choices make sense, but the Shi'Ar faction are not represented at all.
It also had Galen Kor as a boss character, and 8 'assist characters'; Iron Man, Thor, Vision, Giant Man, Ronan the Accuser, Captain Atlas, Ultimus and the Kree Sentry.

Holy shit...
Was a good dev
The other weird thing about this is it's a cross between early 90's Avengers and mid-90's Avengers. Eric Masterson was still Thor during Operation Galactic Storm, but here he's Thunderstrike and you can also pic Thor as an assist. Crystal, Black Knight, Giant-Man, and Vision are in their mid-90's looks. Cap and Thor still retain their classic looks and Iron Man is using the armor he actually wore in Galactic Storm.
That game had a banging soundtrack
Yes, the real Thor isn't even in Galactic Storm, and Hank Pym wasn't Giant Man at the time, using Hawkeye as Goliath would have made more sense.
>No Binary
>No Shi'Ar
Looking at the wiki it says it got released in Japan in 1995, so I assume they took a year or two to make it? They were probably instructed to go with the then-current Avengers looks at the time.
Giant-Man (or Goliath?) Is an assist and appears in the form of a big hairy arm that smashes your opponent.
I miss pre-MCU Marvel games. More they're all shitty cash grabs modeled after the movies. Remember the Punisher PS2 game? Or the arcade game where player 2 was Nick Fury, and you fought that weird cyborg on tank treads?
Binary was only in an issue or two of the comics. Even if the game featured more Avengers, she would have been an assist character at most.
