* HeelFaceTurn: The Commander appears to go through this in ''X-Scape''. [[spoiler:Turns out, he's been brainwashed by the aliens, and [[BigDamnHeroes saves the player]] in the ending.]]

* SugarWIki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The game has a fully 3D look with 3D objects made out of wireframe graphics. In addition, other objects take on the appearance of vector graphics. It's a very ambitious looking game for Gameboy standards. ''X-Scape'' also opts for a vector look, with a monotone art style similar to to the Platform/VirtualBoy, which was the main reasoning the game was restricted to not being a retail release.

''X'' is a space combat flight simulation game developed by Creator/ArgonautGames and published by Creator/{{Nintendo}} and released for the UsefulNotes/GameBoy in 1992.

After the success of the ''Starglider 2'' game for the Amiga computer, the game's developers wanted to experiment with making a Gameboy game that had 3D visuals. Partway through the game's development, Nintendo stepped in and made the game a first-party game. Even though an international released was planned under the name ''Lunar Chase'', the release was [[NoExportForYou cancelled at the last minute]] by Nintendo of America because they thought the game was too advanced for a console they were aiming at children. However, the game would get a sequel for UsefulNotes/DSiWare in 2010 called ''X-Scape'' that did release globally. In a 2020 data leak, a fully completed translation of ''Lunar Chase'' was dumped online on the same day a mostly complete (and still well-made) fan translation was also released. In addition, Argonaut would later go on to create another game that would begin an iconic series, ''VideoGame/StarFox1''.
