Title: Xenon 2
This game deserves a four-star rating, apart from the fact that there's one slight problem: Eclipse never actually finished porting this game! Unfortunately only the first level of the game has been fully implemented - later levels are completely empty at points, sometimes for as long as 30 seconds. Pretty disgusting if you ask me.
Only the latest versions run on the Risc PC. Versions prior to Acorn User January 1997 coverdisc release don't work with 16-bit sound.
