That is strange.  I couldn't find Xenocide in the local software stores
until recently; now many of them have it on the shelves.  Perhaps the dark,
quiet cover is causing potential customers to overlook it.  Certainly of
the many IIGS games I own, Xenocide is the one I most highly recommend.
It takes a while to "get into", but it certainly repays the effort.  After
shooting my way through a level of threats, I'm often breathless.  (By the
way, the extensive copy protection was a nuisance.  I finally got my copy
cracked and installed on my hard disk.  This work shouldn't have been
necessary!)
