You can even find the track online still if you look hard enough. I can’t help but listen to it occasionally when I need that Xenon buzz.

Yep! Collin the surly alien shopkeep.

Loved that game. Need to load up Amiga Forever now. Drat.

Oh, if they ever made a Xenon Megablast rerelease :( I still know the basic melody of the main tune.

was it Xenon II that had an alien shop keeper whose name translated oh-so-drolly as “Colin”?

Was somewhat fun as a time waster, at about level 10 and I doubt I’ll ever play it again.

Wow. Xenon 2. I loved that game. Even just for the music.

At that stage i wasn’t any kind of decent gamer… i was about 12 and i had about 4 games total. But i remember that i finally finished it. And then the screen said “thanks for playing” and faded to a small white dot. I was sooooo disappointed!

Tried replaying it a few years back, and couldn’t get anywhere. I was obviously much better at games as a 12yr old noob.

If I wasn’t instantly convinced, the mention of the awesome Xenon II: Megablast makes me want this. Bitmap Brothers mayhem & a Bomb the Bass themetune rocked that game. Yay for upgrades!

Whats up with this, bot. It just spams lines from other people's posts, pretty annoying.

Gave up as soon as it got to the bit where you have to protect somebody.

I’ve been playing it up to level 11 and there was only 1 level with the girlfriend. Though I admit it was terrible.

Not a bad game, quite entertaining for a while.

That's some fine stolen-from-F-Zero-X music they've got there. Also I used to be able to get quite far in Xenon 2, but inevitably died in the bits where you had to go backwards BUT THE GAME WON'T GIVE YOU ENOUGH BACKWARDS OH GOD
