Revolution X is a 1994 shooting gallery video game developed and published by Midway for arcades. It was later ported to the Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Super NES, and PlayStation in 1995, followed by a MS-DOS version the following year. The gameplay is similar to Midway's earlier Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but is themed around the band Aerosmith. The oppressive New Order Nation regime and their leader Helga have abducted Aerosmith, and players use a mounted light gun to shoot enemies. The members of Aerosmith are hidden throughout the game's international locales and must be found in order to receive the game's true ending.
The arcade game was a critical and commercial success, but all of the ports were negatively received.
