1983 Anirog Software (UK)
by Michael Fox

This little game from 1983 has one of the most difficult first levels I've played yet. Its incredibly hard to avoid the asteroid belt with those tricky controls.
Once you manage to dock the spaceship you enter level 2 and into a sort of 'Frenzy' type game, that looks quite cool, even better than most 'Frenzy' games out there. Level 3 is a bit of a disapointment, its a 'Space Invaders' look-alike and has nothing new in it.
Couldnt reach level 4, if there is any, the adds say there is, so...
For such an early game this is very chalenging and addictive, and if only level one was a bit less harder or changing the levels order, maybe (only maybe) it would have gathered more fans.

2,5 stars

If this little game had set its sight higher it could have been a pretty good one . I mean , Xeno II lacks the ambition to really become a killer .


The idea behind Xeno II is OK , but the implementation remains rather poor , I´d say . That´s why Xeno II will not be remembered ,,,

In contrast with The Dean´s feelings , I find LEVEL 1 rather easy -once you manage the controls- ,,, what stops me from advancing is that you must lose several lives before reaching LEVEL 4 , and I cannot surpass LEVEL 4 with only one life left . :(


Ps - Has anyone in WOS gone further than LEVEL 4 ?? please ?

Level 4? I can't even get past level 1! And when I did I instantly died in Level 2! Seeing that this bloke wrote Brad Blasts the Galactic Barbarians and Muggins the Spaceman and both of them were crap I wasn't hoping for much with this, but this might actually be worse that them both combined! This is just unplayable.
