This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

X-Perts is a sidescrolling action game for the Sega Mega Drive released exclusively in North America. It is a spin-off of Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side featuring Shadow Yamoto.

The initial run of X-Perts in North America incorrectly claimed on the box that the game had battery-back up saving - later revisions covered up this error with a Deep Water sticker.

Story

“	Terrorists have taken control of a top-secret undersea weapons facility! Unless the U.N. meets their demands, the terrorists will detonate a deep-sea thermonuclear device that will tear the Earth apart. Facing global panic, the U.N. calls the X-Perts, a 3-person ultra-secret counter-terrorist team. If the X-Perts fail, the world pays.	„
