Amiga Longplay [723] Xenon 2: Megablast (CDTV)

[TheChristChris]

Loved this game back in the day. I miss the Commodore Amiga!

[BodSTAX1]

This version seems to be running at 50fps compared to all other versions which is strange as the CDTV is just the same as an A500 but with no diskdrives and a CD player. Of course all the music is read off the CD.

@BodSTAX1 "This version seems to be running at 50fps"

No it doesn't. It clearly looks like 25fps, which it is. You need to download the original video from Recorded Amiga Games to see it in 50fps.

[Roadhoundd]

This game has no dislikes.

[carlosbragatto]

Oh man, finally a game with music PLUS sound effects on the Amiga !

[Ironclaw007]

@carlosbragatto Most games on the Amiga has music + sound at the same time, like most other games on other systems.

[jagripino]

Thanks for the video. I never knew the CDTV port was this good, with remixed songs, sound effects, voices, etc. I wonder if they gave the game a proper ending in this version...

[tubeMonger]

Perfect pixels and all the rest. 

[Harrysound]

long live the Bitmap Bros

[Blackcrow911]

I love the music in this, thank you for putting this Longplay up here. :)

[Omaru1982]

Bomb the bass!

[dvlfsh]

Looks interesting, another Amiga game I haven't played.

[secondshen]

what system is this for?

[homicidalidiot]

@secondshen Just... Read... The title... Good God.

[Malkasphia]

Wow...this game has incredible music :D

[bl00derly]

what is this insane frame rate ? is the game really supposed to run so fast ?

[Ironclaw007]

@bl00derly This is the game's 100% speed, which not many play it in because they usually play it on an Amiga 500, which is too slow to make the game run this smooth. On an Amiga 500 the game run in about 10-15fps. My movie run it in 25fps where every frame is updated.

[Katagenaa]

great game, awsome music ! nice remember thanks a lot !

[RandomID222]

:p - reminds me of RE4

"What are you buying?" "What are you selling?"....

[wrestletube1]

You could use autofire without buying it so that bit wasn't coded well but except from that it's a great game.

[Kibbitz]

I wanted to like this a lot the first time I played this on the IBM PC XT era in glorious black and white, but I wasn't good at surviving and I gave up quickly =P Thanks for this run, very good job and awesome music.

[Deathmetalfan90]

Amazing soundtrack really. :p I like it.

[raskaskoneisto]

Huh, I didn't even remember Xenon 2 had this soundtrack? Amazing! The game was, and is, the stuff of legends!

[Neutralbullenfogel]

I seriously did not expect such an awesome soundtrack when I clicked on what looked like a longplay of a basic space shooter. This looks like an ingenious game, seriously. You wouldn't think rap would go with a game like this but it really does suit it perfectly.

[Rakiarmas]

"What do you want to buy".

"Give me the cash".

That alien guy in the shop is so cool.

[marlboromike2100]

@Rakiarmas Not really.. we got a pawnshop in town, guy looks exactly like him and sounds like him,.. Hes a real dick... true story bro... LOL jk.

[Woozygulag]

The like button does not fully express how much I like this.

[MustBe18YearsOrOlder]

where can i seriously download this sweet music

[NotPotter]

@NongIsReallyFat yes they did.

[SaxdudeMaloyS26]

AWESOME RUN!

So SKILLAGE!

[Ironclaw007]

@SaxdudeMaloyS26 Well, I lost a life on the FIRST stage, but it was more my try run, I got better later :P

[SaxdudeMaloyS26]

Woah, epic remix for opening!

Nice! :D

[RolexTharsus]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes this game was so damn cool!

[kicsiqki]

Holy crap those are some seriously awesome breakbeats.

[glsmops]

It looks faster than the standard Amiga version. Is it because of the emulator or even the original game is so fast?

[Ironclaw007]

@glsmops Most people play it on an A500 which will make it run slow (imo), especially with alot of stuff going on on the screen. On a A1200 it will probably run much smoother. As I record these games in WinUAE, I can emulate any computer model I like and even do my own customised settings. I've done a custom on this one making it run as fast as possible. Unlike most people who've played this game, I've played it in its max speed, which looks lovely :)

[glsmops]

So this is the wonderfully remastered music for CDTV! Thank you for posting, you say it is difficult, and I confirm: everytime I've been killed at level 3. But now we got savestates, especially you :)

[Hazelminker]

welcome to Xenon 2, by the Bitchmap brothers !

[Reikis645]

That will cost.... That will cost...

[Zontar82]

i still prefer Xenon 1 music and the morphing ship :P

[Pseudologic]

OH dear god... I played that last in 1991
