Darxide sounds familiar, but I don't ever recall seeing what it looks like. A quick glance on YT makes it seem like it really wants to be Galaxy Force. It also seems like every person that uploaded a video never bothered playing past the first stage. That, or every stage involves shooting rocks...

Eventually.

Darxide was the last game to be made on the 32X and was released only in Europe, so has become a huge collectors item that people will pay stupid amounts of money for. It looks pretty great but, sadly, it's a bit rubbish. If I decide to target that one, I might video the playthrough. Or maybe not. Probably the second.

It's not all bad; that Afterburner port took me right by surprise.
