I hope to see more publishers and IP holders do the same for fan remakes in the future.

The opening theme is the music of legends. That said X2 on the PS1 was a bit of a let down for me.

Amazing intro sequence music for Squadron as well. Way back when EA were still producing great games!

Official site for a game 35 years old!

World's first split screen shooter apparently!

Nice graphics and music, but the gameplay was typical generic Euro shooter. I guess I was just spoiled by the Japanese shmups on the SNES/Mega Drive.

Silkworm had a great port though, and Battle Squadron also felt like an arcade game. Agony had an epic soundtrack and amazing graphics, but once again, pretty average gameplay (though this was pretty typical for Psygnosis).

I will have to investigate this...

Hybris, Battle Squadron, Xenon 2 for sure. As Romanista said Apidya, then Silkworm and SWIV would be nice as would Z Out, Banshee, Menace, Blood Money, Disposable Hero, Datastorm, the Defender clone, oh and an HD Agony with new levels and art plus piano music would be amazing today!

Good list here...
