X (エックス, Ekkusu), is an early three-dimensional first-person shooter-type video game software released for the Game Boy only in Japan on May 29, 1992. The game was published by Nintendo and was developed by Nintendo R&D1; alongside Argonaut Software (who later became known for the original Star Fox title for the Super NES).
X was followed by an internationally released DSiWare exclusive sequel, X-Scape.
The game was influenced by Starglider and Starglider 2 and was originally slated to be published by Mindscape as Eclipse or Lunar Chase, but Nintendo took over the project after becoming interested in the concept of having three-dimensional graphics on the Game Boy. Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi renamed the game X shortly before its release. The Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu listed X as one of the four most influential Game Boy games ever created, as it was the first 3D game released for a portable system in Japan.
