Xeroxmorphs in Dittoland - T-Racer

In 1992 Team 17's Project-X was the preposterously-gorgeously slick shmup to beat. Polished to a lustre 17 fathoms beyond eye-melting. Because it was the number one R-Type-killer to stomp into the mud, mockingly chanting "haha, we killed your R-Type-killer dead", Virtual Dreams attempted to replicate it two years later by virtue of their me-too work of art, T-Racer. It certainly looks the part - you'd be forgiven for thinking it was Project-X's mind-bogglingly-ravishingly-aesthetically-splendiferous official add-on pack. It even tacks on a Star Wars-esque trench-run bonus stage wedged inside a Game Gear clone... which, being so primitive in comparison, looks a fair bit less pretty. An odd design choice to be sure.
