X2 (video Game)
''X2'' is an arcade-style side-scrolling shoot 'em up released during the Team17-Ocean collaboration era of video games that created the ''Worms'' series. It is the sequel to the Amiga shooter ''Project-X''. Unlike its predecessor, this game was a console exclusive. Acclaim Entertainment was slated to publish the game in North America, but it was never released in that region. A Sega Saturn version of the game was scrapped during development, at least in part due to Acclaim (who would have published it in North America, as with the PlayStation version) withdrawing support for the Saturn. Retired pilot Commander Miner is called out of retirement as he is one of the best and last remaining pilots qualified to take the fight to the invading aliens. Unlike most shoot 'em ups, ''X2'' allows the player to keep the power-ups they have acquired when they lose a life. Reception The ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' review team gave the game a 5.75 out of 10, with all four reviewers save Sus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amiga CD32 Games
Amiga is a family of personal computers introduced by Commodore in 1985. The original model is one of a number of mid-1980s computers with 16- or 32-bit processors, 256 KB or more of RAM, mouse-based GUIs, and significantly improved graphics and audio compared to previous 8-bit systems. This includes the Atari ST—released earlier the same year—as well as the Macintosh and Acorn Archimedes. Based on the Motorola 68000 microprocessor, the Amiga differs from its contemporaries through the inclusion of custom hardware to accelerate graphics and sound, including sprites and a blitter, and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system called AmigaOS. The Amiga 1000 was released in July 1985, but production problems kept it from becoming widely available until early 1986. The best-selling model, the Amiga 500, was introduced in 1987 along with the more expandable Amiga 2000. The Amiga 3000 was introduced in 1990, followed by the Amiga 500 Plus, and Amiga 600 in March 1992. Fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
