I think Xenon II is one of the best games, but not the BEST. There are
two things i really hate: the collision routine (the one for PC version is
better) and the waiting syndrome for every level which has to be loaded.

I read that the Bitmap Brothers decided to write another kind of games (just
like Knight Lore for the Spectrum) and that for the moment they are not going
to write another shoot-em-up.

					Bye, Marco.
