Presentation
On MSX2, Xak II is displayed in a screen with a 256x212 display resolution. The game uses a scrolling display, the map scrolls away as the player's character reaches a distance from the screen's side of about 1/3 of the total display. Due to the larger amount of memory available to the 256x212 display compared to the 512x212 one, the game's scrolling is markedly smoother than in Xak I.
The game's music supports both the internal PSG sound system, as well as the optional MSX-Music. In a style that is heard in most of MicroCabin's productions for MSX, the PSG channels are used for the main melody and sound effects, while the MSX-Music channels are used for supporting instruments. This prominence of the PSG is less marked than in the first game.
