April 2025 - Project X Special Edition 93

[NinjaKat]

Game of the Month for April 2025: Project X Special Edition 1993

Picked from a random selection from the fantastic Amiga Game Selector!

It`s the same old story, someone else`s mistake has become your problem.... The fools, the mad fools.. the scientists did it for fun, they must have done, no one wanted massive mutated insect-like droids, the by-products of early bio-mechanical experiments with powerful x-rays, not me and you. Dumped on the planet Ryxx and presumably left to degenerate, stagnate and fade out - the sickening mutations not only survived but thrived, their intelligence circuits warped by the past and left seeking revenge. Fears of a possible all-out attack has forced the Federation into action! Your mission is simple: fly to Ryxx, into the heart of the station the evil has made it`s lair and blow the whole thing sky high.
