still quite a lot of these NOS kits floating around out there and it&#8217;s a very solid little shooter for not very much money, especially considering they&#8217;ve never been used.\u00a0 Very much like a Psikyo game, wouldn&#8217;t be entirely surprised if that&#8217;s where the engine came from.\u00a0 Frenetic pointed out to be a few days ago, you can press start on the random ship select to unlock a secret ship.\u00a0 May just be my imagination but it seemed to make the game harder too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/2911_wyvern_wings.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-680\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/2911_wyvern_wings-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"2911_wyvern_wings\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>X-Files &#8211;
