Product Description
Xenon is the obscure and mysterious prequel to the much better known Xenon
2: Megablast. This nearly-perfect port from the Amiga is actually nothing
like its successor, with completely different control scheme and gameplay.
Xenon is essentially an overhead shooter, where you control the ship and
move around the playfield. However, the difference between Xenon and its
sequel is that here you actually control the movement of the playfield
(that is, up or down) by simply moving the ship in the direction of your
choice. (Editor's Note: You can actually do this in Xenon 2 as well, but
you need to slam your ship against the bottom of the screen and pull back
on the stick in order to reverse-scroll the playfield.)
It also features a "3D" playfield (some enemies, for example, will be
mounted on hills of sort, where you can't shoot them). In Xene, upgrades
are taken from destroyed enemies, and not bought as in Xenon 2.
