someone else...
Xenophobe (2600)
I bought this in Germany in 1991. New. From a shop in Paderborn where the 2600
was still amazingly popular. It was very odd. The game, although surprisingly
similar to the original arcade version, was a bit crap. It was like Alien.
Sort of. But too fiddly and hard.
Have you played the version on the Lynx? That one is definitive in my
book, and uses a pseudo-3D engine that I wish more games employed (where
your 2D sprite characters run around a side-scrolling environment that's
manually rotated in 90 degree increments by the player). Strangely, I also
have a boxed copy. Is yours the silver box or the brown box like mine?
-KKC, who will always remember the day he and deKay compared boxes.
