Classic Game Room HD - XENOPHOBE for NES review

Classic Game Room HD reviews XENOPHOBE for the Nintendo Entertainment System NES video game console from 1988! This unique mulitplayer side scroller saw many versions on home consoles after the arcade 3-player machine became popular. This 2 player game from Sunsoft (the arcade machine was Bally Midway) loses much in its translation to the NES. Is it still an enjoyable game to collect and play today? After the popularity of James Cameron's (writer director) ALIENS in 1986 Alien stuff was everywhere! This game was clearly inspired by the film and it shows in many ways. Waste Xenos (or Xenomorphs as they're called in the movie) with a small variety of weapons in repetitive levels. Frankly the arcade game was a lot more fun than this, but the Classic Game Room review of Xenophobe shows gameplay and footage from the game that may be to your liking. Classic Game Room is the retro reviewer reviewing NES games from Nintendo in the 1980's and Sega Genesis, Atari 2600, Colecovision and more. Don't suffer from xenophobia (not Xenaphobia, that's fear of Xena the Warrior Princess. We all suffer from that)

or play the version of xenophobe on midways arcade treasures 2 for ps2,xbox,gamecube and i think psp.

I'm wondering could it be that Xenophobe was intended to be a official Alien licensed product? Just that they somehow lost the license but decided to go ahead and release it anyway with some changes to avoid copyright. This could explain why there is no music playing in the background.
