13. X would not be the behemoth that it is today if not for a happy accident
while developing a prior game called Race ‘N Chase. This game had a similar
style to what eventually became X, with the idea being that you play as cops
or robbers, either performing the robberies or stopping the perpetrators.
When playing as a robber, the glitch that changed everything caused the AI
police cars to try and run you off the road rather than actually “bust” you.
This was popular enough with testers that the model of the game was reworked to better suit this dynamic, and so X was born!
(X was supposed to be a racing game!)

Another benefit to this new X type is that the micro specification will support
