X is a space combat flight simulation game developed by Argonaut Games and published by Nintendo and released for the Game Boy in 1992.In the far future, humanity is in search of a new source of energy. They find it on the planet Tetamus II but they must protect the planet from a race of aliens until the energy can be harvested. The player does this by commanding the starship VIXIV through various missions as assigned by the "Training Academy Coach".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 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 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, Star Fox.

Easter Egg: Totaka's Song can be heard in Mission 4 if the player waits 40 seconds when they see the fake scientist. The sequel also has the same easter egg found in much of the same way.

Previously on…: X-Scape has cutscenes that explain the plot of X due to the former's restriction to only Japan.

Heel–Face Turn: The Commander appears to go through this in X-Scape. Turns out, he’s been brainwashed by the aliens, and saves the player in the ending.
