X-Out Download (1990 Amiga Game)

In the ocean depths something stirs, and as we all know the good guys shake their liquids so this must be the baddies which means it's blasting time.

Before the slaughter can begin you need to select and design your ship. Select the shell of your vessel from one of the four provided (the vessel shells are progressively tougher and more expensive), and add some armament. There are a number of weapons to choose from, you can have single, double or triple shot at one of three shot strengths, satellites, missiles, satellites effects, beam weapons and so on. Everything costs money and the more destructive an item the more it costs. When first starting the game you must choose between building one fairly powerful ship, (it appears all powerful but you have as yet to see some of the more expensive items at work), or a couple of bog standard blasters, the choice is up to you.

Once the battle begins the enemy throw everything at you, large end level nasties, gun emplacements, semi-large mid-level nastie - the works. This is by no stretch of the imagination an original game but it is a classic shoot'em-up that is a must for any software collection.
