I can't say what this particular version is like, having not bothered to play it through. However, I bought it Xenon 2 when it came out back in 1989, and did clock it then - there wasn't much of an ending sequence, just Crispin the shopkeeper saying something like "that's it folks! Don't forget to turn off your set!", before giving you a white spot as though the screen had been switched off. Then the game restarted from level one, with you back to the basic ship, no money etc. Like I say, this is a copy of the game I bought, so that is probably as full as the ending gets. Like a lot of old games, I suppose being able to say "I did it!" was worth more than being given a flashy completion sequence.

Errrm, are you all playing this with DosBox? If so how do you mount it and as what drive? Because everytime i start it up in dosbox i get to the start menu and when i select 1 player it asks me to insert other disk??
If someone knows how to get it working please let me know! Thanx in advance! |

I hope everyone here who's saying that this game is so great, is actaully referring to the Amiga origina - this version sux.
OK - the graphics are OK, but the sounds is some of the worst I've heard - the music in this (PC) version is aweful. The thing that made the Amiga version so great was the sound, without that, the game doesn't hold up I'm afraid. 2 out of 5 for this version.... |

Just for the sound? :blink:
The sounds aren't that important, if the gameplay is great you don't need sounds! And the gameplay is the greatest of it's kind. No other game is so fun and so hard. Besides for PCspeaker these sounds aren't too bad. I remember the music so well... even from my childhood. |

Hello all,
I remember when someone gave me this on two 5 1/4-inch floppy disks!! That's where the Disk 2 comes from...it'd stop the game halfway and you'd have to insert the second disk to continue! I haven't tried the sound yet... Does anyone know how to EXIT the game once it's started?? I was pressing the Esc key but it didn't seem to do anything. Finally in desperation I used Ctrl-Alt-Delete and it brought up Task Manager, minimised Xenon2, and then I was able to right-click and "Close". But obviously this is unsatisfactory...it may be easy for everyone else but I couldn't work it out...! Thanks!! |
