Xenon 2000

[emkay]

Well... I am not shure of the right forum, but it's a remake of a real classic, even if it is a "new" game.

Actually, I am not shure if the game is great or if it is just a very weak port ... so gameplay seems to be buggy and the music is boring, compared to the original...

The graphics look good, but not really superior to the original...

 

any opinions?

Thanks for the link...

 

I'm a sucker for these games, so I instantly liked it when I fired it up...

I actually like the graphics a lot with the nice rendering going on... For this kind of retro style vertical shooter I think it's perfect...

I agree on the music though, remembering the smash hit when it came out on the good old Amiga!!

 

Just played it for a short while, and I registered no bugs so far...

 

I somehow got the feeling the game was never finished (no joystick, only 640x480 graphics etc) and put up for downloading. The site is updated in 2002 for the last time, these guys look out of business to me...

 

At least they decided to share their work with us..

 

I think I'll put in on my cab, that way I can at least play it with a joystick!
