Can someone tell me where Oystron X came from and how it differs from the regular version? Thanks, all!

The same author as Oystron (Piero Cavina). IIRC...he was trying to make an updated version that packed more sprites and functions in the game, but "Oystron 2" was never finished because implementing some of the ideas would be at a cost of removing some of the original version's features (such as NTSC/PAL flipping). He decided to let the unreleased version be included on the Stella Gets A New Brain CD as Oystron X (read: Oystron-Unfinished)...since real life and post-homebrew burnout was taking it's toll on trying to complete the thing.

Also this version is somewhat harder than the original.
