Revolution X-Aerosmith Revolution X is a light gun shooter game produced and developed by Midway Games in 1994. Originally used for arcade platforms, it was later ported to various home gaming platforms. The gameplay is similar to Midway's early Terminator 2: Judgment Day, featuring all 5 members of the rock band Aerosmith, who are the main characters of the game and feature many popular Aerosmith songs. Revolution X was originally planned to have a sequel, but was canceled due to the lack of popularity of the band Public Enemy's lead role and original.

Gameplay:

Members of the band Aerosmith were kidnapped by an organization called New Order Nation (NON), which aims to enslave all the world's young people by suppressing all forms of entertainment. As one of the few remaining free youths, equipped with a submachine gun on the side of a dedicated cabinet, and the most powerful weapon, music, the player's goal is to liberate all young people who crave music (and the band Aerosmith) and put an end to the threat of the NON organization. The player uses the installed gun to control the crosshairs on the screen and shoot enemies. Members of Aerosmith are hidden in every level of the game, and all members must be found to see the real ending.

In the 1996 version of dystopianism, corrupt governments and businesses controlled the world under the name of "New Order States" (NON). Non and their vampire commander, Head Mistress Helga (played by Kerri Hoskins), declare war on youth culture (anyone between the ages of 13 and 30) and ban all forms of music, television, magazines, and video games. Players travel to "Club X" in Los Angeles to watch Aerosmith perform live, but the band is captured by non-military and kicked off stage in the middle of the show. After escaping from the club, the player steals a helicopter and flies over the city in search of the band's car. From here, the player must destroy three NON facilities in the Middle East, the Amazon jungle, and the Pacific Rim before heading to London to defeat Helga and her remaining troops at Wembley Stadium.

The player must shoot targets including non-soldiers and vehicles, with the ultimate goal of saving the band. Players start the game in Club X in Los Angeles, first fighting the NON troops inside, then stealing a helicopter and flying over the city and finding Aerosmith's car. They must then destroy three NON facilities in the Amazon jungle, the Middle East, and the Pacific Rim. These three phases can be carried out in any order. If the Middle East stage is not completed within the allotted time, the player will be allowed to start again for another attempt. Finally, the players advanced to Wembley Stadium for the final battle with the surviving NON troops and hostess (Helga). Objects that can be shot throughout the game may show energy boosts, such as supplemental healthy shakes, CDs, powerful laser discs and super guns, skull bombs, and shields. Players can also find hostages throughout the game and release them to earn extra points.

At the end of each stage, players earn bonus points based on the number of enemies killed and hostages rescued, as well as the amount of damage inflicted.

All members must be found to unlock the best ending and bonus levels, and players can return to the backstage after blowing up Helga to earn the high-value "Mommy Award" and party with the band.
