Originally released for the Amiga in 1989, it is fondly remembered for its music although the game it self was a bit ..meh largely thx to its difficulty and drab colour pallet. It was ported to a couple of other systems including the mega drive and the Master System in 1992. Cartridge games always come with the risk of buyers remorse especially at the cost of 29.99 per cart, the game had better be good....... This port of the game is not great and you would have felt pretty cheated.
The game features only 6 of the 7 original levels and loops round at the end of level 6 without offering to buy/sell anything at the in game shop. The game is still difficult and made more so by not being able to see enemies and projectiles when the action really hots up as its just too much for the poor master system to handle. I'm not sure, but in other versions you cant take money between levels with you so its best to spend it all each time you get to the shop. However here in this version it does 'seem' to stack. The shop does not offer all the weapons from the original game regardless of how much money you have.
The video shows two loops of the game as I played through just in case it ends after 2 runs. It doesn't..... so i just end the game in loop 3. The pc version does similar but the second loop is harder. -

That Assault on Precinct 13 score takes me back!!
One of my top favourite games of all time!
SEGA will always be a Legend
An impressive port, it almost looks the same as the 16 bit versions. It's a bit slow and has several cuts, specially bosses but it's one of the best shoot'em up for a 8 bit system I saw. It is also curious how the weapon compatibility is different, in the 16 bit versions you couldn't combine the rear shoot with the side shoot or have the laser in the front of the ship.

Cool! I didn't even know there was a 16bir version. I grew up with this one. Could never beat the third stage though.
*Ha! ha! As good as 16-bit Amiga and ST kids!* ⭐️
What an impressive port!!! 😮
Loved this game! Played it on Amiga 500 in the early 90s
Hello There!
You simply have to learn and try very hard, and if you really do want to become a real legend everyone. LMHO
Um típico jogo europeu... T+
Essa melodia não me é estranha

I bought that game a long time ago but I found it incredibly slow so I didn't have fun.
12 fps shmup? No thanks 😂
Super overrated port, this along with MD version. People just like this because of nostalgia and its graphics, music and bosses are memorable, but don't be fooled, this is a weak version. Play it on Amiga, Atari ST, or even DOS or Game Boy is better than this.

The Mega Drive port is awful: It was one of those ports that combined the weaknesses of the Atari ST with the weaknesses of the Mega Drive. This port is at least very impressive on a technical level, even if it's not one I'd want to play. All that said, Xenon 2 is sadly a game that has not aged very well.
