Thanks to LiquidBoogie for the request. A pretty fun shooter once you get to grips with the controls. I'm surprised I never played it before. Created by the team who brought us Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun.

Completed on the easiest difficulty mode (wimp!) and with limited ammo. Save-states used.

I don't know what happens at the end if you had selected a different crew or harder mode. Probably the same. The ending is not that great as it has the alien graphic from the title screen and simply your character standing there like a muppet, though it has a great tune from Barry Leitch. Same as the Spectrum version ending, too.

I also black-boxed the totally unnecessary “XENOPHOBE” logo that kept bouncing up and down in the bottom half of the screen, where player two would go.
