Super X (スーパー・エックス) is an unlicensed arcade shmup by Dooyong released in 1994. There`s also another version of the game by Mitchell. However, both N.T.C. and Mitchell versions of the game seem practically the same.
The game has 7 stages with seemingly infinite loops. After clearing Stage 7, the game will just proceed to the next loop.
Gameplay Overview
Similar to Raiden, the player can fire the main shot and a bomb. When the player reaches MAX weapon power level, the Super Power will be activated. Super Power acts as a Hyper system that fires strea of 5-way shots rapidly, and also allows the A button to be held. After the Super Power deactivates, the player`s weapon level will be slightly decreased. Super Power can be instantly activated by collecting a P item.
