Xenon 2: Megablast
Fan port · in progressA port of the vertical shoot 'em up Xenon 2: Megablast by The Bitmap Brothers (1989) to the Neo Geo Pocket Color. The game is rewritten from scratch in C for the handheld's TLCS-900H processor and measured against the DOS original: enemy paths, weapon timings and level layouts follow the original as closely as the 160×152 screen allows.
What is in
- All five levels with their scrolling terrain, wall objects and enemy waves
- The shop between stages and Bitmap Shades
- Weapons and power-ups timed to the original's 18.2 Hz game clock
- Diving, as in the original
- Big bosses built from background tiles, for example the spider of level 2
Status
Level 1 is fully playable. Levels 2 to 5 are in alpha and still being tuned.
