Description
Xenophobe Atari 2600
Released for the Atari 2600 in 1990 by Atari Corporation, Xenophobe is an action game based on the 1987 Bally Midway arcade game. It was one of the last games released for the console.
Gameplay features
- Objective: Clear eight space stations of all aliens to win.
- Game format: Players control a character who navigates different rooms and floors of a space station to eliminate aliens.
- Controls: Players use a joystick to move, jump, duck, and fire a weapon. The game also features grenades.
- Weapons: Various weapons can be found throughout the game, including the starting phaser, laser pistol, lightning rifle, and poofer gun.
- Two-player mode: Although marketed with a split-screen option, the Atari 2600 version of the game forces players to alternate turns, unlike the original arcade version which allowed simultaneous play.
- Enemies: Face off against different types of aliens, including pods that evolve into “critters,” “roller babies,” and “snaughter pillars”.
- Time limit: Each space station has a time limit. If you run out of time, you are automatically transported off the exploding station, resulting in a lower score.
- Hidden feature: An undocumented pause feature can be activated by quickly toggling the “TV Type” switch twice.
