Xenon 2 - Megablast was very popular when it was published. It was a straightforward shoot-'em-up game, where you pilot a spaceship and blow up various space monsters.
Depending on the number of monsters you've killed and powerups you've picked up, you can buy miscellaneous weapons, and spacecraft upgrades, at the end of each level.
Another thing that made this game even more popular was the two-player mode; maybe I'm just being nostalgic, but there's a certain charm in playing those old arcade games crowded around one keyboard.
The music from this game is very addictive, and was remixed in many tracks after the game's release. Many games that emerged later, such as Raptor, were basically an improved version of Xenon.
All in all, a fun no-brainer, excellent for those long, boring winter nights.
