A small entry for now on what was reported to be another C64 game from Thalamus in 1989. Xenodrome we believe was a clone of Xenophobe being done by Thalamus, and was stated to be a C64 and 16-bit title … Continue reading
The Bitmap Brothers were one of the first companies to explore the potential of 16-bit systems such as the Amiga, and many regard Xenon II: Megablast is the peak of this. This vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up featured advanced graphics and … Continue reading
I’m not entirely sure why we haven’t added this entry to the archive much sooner, as we’ve been aware of this set of pictures from Robin Levy for many years now. Xenophobia was first highlighted to GTW by the late … Continue reading
