I have to take it in a comical way actually, because is. The game was parodied in one level of Team17's own Superfrog, as Project-F (with the 'F' presumably standing for "Frog"), even going as far as using a remixed version of the original game's theme tune.Well, I have to say, this is kinda hilarious, is one of those things that don't make any sense at all, but is a trouble we have for at least one year, or maybe a little more.
The game was followed by a PlayStation-only sequel, titled X2. Amiga Computing called it one of the best shooter games for that platform at the time, both for its technical excellence in graphics and sounds, and for its difficult and interesting gameplay. A hack for the original game to enable the player to skip levels by holding down the fire button and pressing the escape key was also distributed on the coverdisks of several Amiga magazines.Īccording to Next Generation, Project-X was immensely successful in Europe, but only sold in moderate numbers in the U.S. When Team17 realized this, they released Project-X SE on Amiga CD32, a special edition with the difficulty toned down. Many players never completed the second one (which had a very difficult ending), and most of the rest never went past level three. Various power-ups, numerous in the first level but increasingly rare afterwards, permit an exponential increase of the spacecraft's seven different weapons (Guns, Buildup, Side Shots, Homing Missiles, Plasma, Magma, and Laserbeam). Players control a spacecraft of their choice, battling hundreds of alien ships. It is the player's mission to undergo Project X and eliminate the droid forces. The droids eventually become sentient and, by way of revenge, start an attack against mankind, using a station to continually create more war machines. Taking place many years in the future in colonized space, military scientists have disposed of countless, defective military droids on an un-colonized terrestrial planet called Ryxx. The game resembles Konami's side-scrolling shooter games such as Gradius, Salamander and Parodius. It was developed and published by Team17. Project-X is a horizontally scrolling shooter for the Amiga released in 1992. Amiga, MS-DOS, Amiga CD32 (special edition)
