I’m not entirely sure why we haven’t added this entry to the archive much sooner, as we’ve been aware of this set of pictures from Robin Levy for many years now. Xenophobia was first highlighted to GTW by the late … Continue reading →
Another single screen modern invaders clone. Apart from some nice graphics, the game is very simplistic, and quite poor. A simple attack wave of creatures fly around, and you simply shoot them, then its onto the next attack wave of … Continue reading →

Our next entry (helping to fill up the rather empty X category) is a neat early preview of a Delta’esq clone called Xykik. The game was being developed by C64 musician Jason Morrell, of which this was his first venture … Continue reading →
