The low-budget “brother” of Xenon. The two came out around the same time. Back then, I much preferred the latter (even if I mostly just replayed the first level over and over). These days, with a slightly more seasoned eye, I’ve come to appreciate Sidewinder’s full-screen display and the extra room it gives you to dodge incoming fire.
That said, I really can’t stand the explosion sound anymore – and I still think it’s sorely lacking in extra weapons.
