:) Pros:
fun, addictive, and simple
looks damn close to Mr.Driller
saves high-scores

:( Cons:
bad sound effects, no music! (this is a game that reeeeeally needs music <_< )
impossible to enter initials!! :angry:

Verdict:
Drill2x is lots of fun, but problems (see cons) take out alot of the enjoyment. The game looks great though,
and it's very close to the original (except it plays a little differently).

Score:
7/10

Yeah, the game really does need music. Other than that, it's pretty professionally done. :)
 
It's a bit slower than Mr Driller but this is made up for in the gameplay by you only having one life. This means you can think a little more as you cannot afford to make a mistake.

when you have died just use left and right of the joystick to select the letter and then press B

In the middle of the screen is the alphabet, going left and right as you move your stick left and right.
but how do I know which letter I'm choosing!?
the selected letter is shown in the middle of the square ^^. I have to do a capture?

can anyone say how this version of driller compares to emulated driller games? please list emulator you used as well as the game you played if you can compare!

also does this game feature all of the blocks that DRILLER SPRITES does?

- Brown X-blocks generally have the same characteristics as the normal
blocks with two exceptions: First of all they need to be drilled five
times to be desegregated and second you lose 20 percent points of air
every time you destroy one by drilling. (I'll talk about air in 3.3)
Appears in every play mode.

- White blocks completely "act" just like coloured blocks minus the ability
of chaining up with other white blocks. (Only appears in Mission Driller,
Pressure Driller and Dristone Driller)

- Crystal blocks are the most unstable blocks by far: A few seconds after
they appear on-screen they stop flashing announcing their implosion,
sometimes starting a chain-reaction with blocks situated on top of it.
Appears in every play mode.

- Metal blocks might be regarded the complete opposite of the crystal
blocks as they cannot be destroyed in any way. (Only appears in Time
Attack)

even more listed @ http://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html...8&rid=99040
