XQuest2 is one damn addictive arcade game for the PC, in which you move a cute little spaceship around the screen, collecting crystals and power-ups, while avoiding or destroying (with your trusty Super Kill-o-Zapper, of course;) a multitude of obstacles and bad guys; including Grungers, Zingers, Meebies, Retaliators, Terriers, Doingers, Snipes, Tribblers, Sticktights and Repulsors to name but a few [gulp] !

It's just so well executed and altogether fun! The gameplay is simple yet challenging, graphics are pleasing to the eye, and the sound effects are of a suitably humorous nature, if a little, um, tacky. What's more, it doesn't take up much space, and even works fine on my old 286; therefore, I consider this little beauty to be a "must download" !
