Xenon 2 - Another example of how Pirates have it so much easier than we
do. The CP on this thing is abominable and it will only run on my 2000 and
_not_ on the 1000, but it does run on 1000's at the dealer where I bought
it. (Oh I suppose I could send the disk back to england to get it fixed
riiight, the postage would be about the cost of the game.)
The game play is however fast and furious with a couple of interesting
twists. 1) At the middle and end of each level you stop into a shop. The
Shopkeeper will buy any excess armament you have to sell and sell you new
stuff. After killing a nasty you get a cash bonus. The other interesting
point is that the "scenery" can grab you but you don't die by touching it.
So sometimes you have to back up and that go around. Play action is
TopView 2D.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
