In 1990, the year of X-Out’s initial release on C64, it stood out as a breath of fresh seaside air in the stale shoot ‘em up space. 

Many games of its genre did (and still do) take place in “space” but X-OUT paves the way by going for  a dive through underwater worlds. 

But what really pushed it further than its other side-scrolling competitors was its shop system. By allowing players to mix and match from a wide variety of ships, weapons, and other accessory parts to build their fleet, X-OUT made every play-through (attempt) feel different and unique.
