Project X : Light Years - A cool Amiga Shoot em up by Team 17 gets a modern PC reimagining by MK Games

One of the coolest Shoot em ups I can remember, wasn't the all time classic R-Type, but Team 17's Project-X, which was not only released on the Amiga in 1992, but later ported to MS-DOS. It was a game that had great graphics, sound and awesome wave blasting enemies that not only featured wicked weaponry, but cool powerups such as the voiced "speed up". So if you remember this game that in my opinion deserves to be in a collection, you'll be pleased to know that as of today you can download MK Games 'Project X : Light Years'.  A modern reimagining of the classic available through Steam.
