Very cool!  Thanks for posting!

Great stuff fella. Cheers for getting hold of that.

Barry Leitch is an amazing musician, I didn't realise until I was writing my article just how many great pieces of music he did.

It was a shame the Lynx version of Xenophobe never had this music!

I like that track.  I kind of feel like I've missed out.  Xenophobe is one of those games that has passed me by.

I stongly suggest playing it. It's a brilliant game and got excellent home conversions pretty much across the board.

Ok, I'll check it out.  I've got a Friday evening to myself this week and I'm planning on playing some games so I'll see if I can get hold of Xenophobe.  Cheers!

Gets better everyone I listen to it.

The Atari ST version has a simplified but also brilliant rendition of the music throughout the game:

The C64 has a rather good version of the music too (also by Barry Leitch)

I picked this up at an outdoor market in the 90s and playd that CD to death lol
The starting "Welcome to Xenephobe" always amazed me at how clear it was!

That is actually one of the other programmers at Imagitec saying that!  8)

That's so cool

I spent some time playing various versions of Xenophobe a few weeks ago. 

Firstly the arcade version, then the Amiga, then the C64.  I didn't get on with the coin-op at all.  The small frame showing the action felt too small on my pc screen and I couldn't get a control configuration I liked.  The Amiga and C64 was much better!  I spent longest with the C64 version, no brainer for me, and have to say I started to quite enjoy it.  It looks good and plays well - once I got the controls sorted!  I have no rose tints through which to view this and I felt it got repetitive after a while.  I may go back to it during the Christmas holidays.

I quite fancy trying the LYNX version, But I'd need to go and buy a LYNX.  Seems the rom doesn't run.  PMs accepted in relation to this!
