They still making future games :)
Well, endless rehashes of 15 year old games.
The site seems out of date as the future games seems to include GBA games.
They did have quite a nack for preseting themselves and their games as `cool`, with the whole dark sunglasses and leather thing (kinda like The Matrix) - especially like The Chaos Engine. Their style was quite unique, and as a small team that had big success creating games they were quite inspiring.
I've never played any of their games, TBH.
I liked Chaos Engine.... kind of.... preferred Alien Breed.
I think I'm in a minority of people who think that Speedball 2 was over-rated.
I think Speedball 2 was great, it was more the upgrading characters that appeared to meal. Xenon II was pretty good too, but a bit annoying too. Chaos Engine was neat. Don't think I played any more...
I remember Xenon being featured on that ITV kids show on a Saturday morning back in the 80's. The one with the outrageous alien. Alf was it? Ah, the good old days...
Get Fresh. His name was Gilbert.
ALF was a hideous American Saturday tea-time show.
That's it! :P
gaz top init?
i had xenon on the ST and megablast on the amiga (bomb the bass was on an almost endless loop once)
they were the only bitmap brothers games we bought but we had speedball one and two (two had an infinate cash crack but players leveled out and never progressed if you used it)
used to just beef up my center forward and pummel the other guy to the ground and wack the middle blob at close range for a bit then tackle to goalie to score, got a bit dull though
bought the psOne edition but didnt like it as much as the amiga, never played any of their other games but it was xenon 2000 project pcf (pcformat) part work that introduced me to blitz as a cover mount a few months later
Looks like the site hasn't been updated in over 6 years. Guess these GBA games have long development cycles then?
aye just had a mooch and they are stating xenon 2000 as a new tutorial o.O
or has someone installed that google time machine on their servers :)
