@Strap1205 ... Actually, Bomb The Bass is not the original, they only did a remix of it, the original was done about 20 years before Bomb The Bass remixed it.
Hang on people actually played non-hacked (invicible) versions of xenon 2, no way, I left it on autofire long enough to build my ship into constant super narshwan power!
@Frankooo79 you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that you can play all these games again and more- very easily too... look up "WinUAE" and good luck :)
I still want to believe the only reason this game gets the credit it gets it's because of its music. Among shoot'em up players there's a consese this game is a pile of crap. But among amiga owners, it's like the best shooter ever.
If it was the case of the Amiga not having good shooters I would understand, but Apidya, Battle Squadron, Hybris and Z-out all deny that.
Take a look at Battle Squadron somewhere. It was released the in the same year of Xenon 2 and it kicks its ass on very department
@shatterhandbr83 It hink this isn't true.You are just missing the fact,that music IS an important part of a great game.I can't remember any classic that didn't feature great sound-I even claim that good music and sound are essential for a game to be any good.All games you mentioned had great sound either.
I agree that Xenon II perhaps was somewhat overrated, probably because it was a bitmap bros game, and who didn't love them that days.?! But it was a good game, besides of the sound, too.
@OmenFrankfurt Well, we will have to just disagree here. The game is slow, boring, the level design is incredibly lame, shops are never a good idea on shmups, the "Go Back" feature is incredibly stupid (As it is dead-ends, as it breaks the flow of the game)..
They did everything wrong for a game in this genre except the music. It's a shame Bitmap Brothers game had to be "automatically hyped". Besides The Chaos Engine and Speedball 2, their other games were average or worse.
@shatterhandbr83 I don't know, i actually loved most of their games during that time, the one i thought was absolutely terrible was Magic Pockets ;) The Amiga was a great all rounder in every genre whereas Consoles weren't at the time.
The Amiga was capable of this in the 80's... about the same time people were listening to the electronic farting noises of the NES.

Great tune! The original is made from "Bomb The Bass" - very cool though if you think about the good old times and the old technology! ;-)
