This is THE scrolling shoot 'em up on the ST. An awesome game. From the intro .MOD to the in-game graphics and playability this is first class. How many joysticks met their doom because of this game? It was and is really punishing to play.

Really great boxart. (I'm serious. It's very avant-garde.)

Very very very hard shoot em up. Bitmap brothers sat down and write a game which is the best in its genre for the ST. It really looks like a console game :) Graphics and animations are excellent. Intro music is very good, sound in game is OK but the gameplay really suffers if you play for some hours. It is so hard to even get to lvl 2! Nevertheless its a game to be remembered :P Graphics 10 Sound 9 Gameplay 7 Overall 8+

This is it ... The Bitmap brothers redefined vertically scrolling shoot'em ups with this one. Graphics, music, gameplay, everything fits. A classic that can't be missed.

Xenon 2 - Megablast

June 17, 2001 by ST Graveyard

Screenshot of Xenon 2 - Megablast As you might have already noticed, I love this game. To me, there isn't a better vertical shooter game made since its release. Like other Bitmap games, it laid new standards for other companies to break. Some came close (Thalion's "Wings of Death"), but in my opinion, it hasn't been beaten. The great gameplay, the superb power ups and the cool final stage bosses make this a dream to play. A must! Xenon 2 remains the king of the shoot 'em up genre, shining high on its throne!

Facts

Artwork by Alan Tomkins. This is what he has to say about the shot : I did this around the time of Mirrorsoft's collapse so it may never have seen the light of day, as I don't know if it was picked up by anyone. Again drawn on the ST 520.
