Trivia
The theme tune to Xenon 2 is "Megablast" by "Bomb the Bass". This was released in the UK ca. 1988. More details can be found at http://www.discogs.com/release/53494 or at http://www.kompaktkiste.de/bomb_the_bass.htm#dood2cd
The famous piece of music used in Xenon 2 by Bomb the Bass was actually a reworking of the theme from the John Carpenter movie "Assault on Precinct 13". A little known fact!
The DOS version of the game starts up with the in-game music turned off as default. The PC speaker version of the song, coupled with the sound effects of the game, would drive anyone to madness. While the game did support Adlib, the sound effects masked the Bomb the Bass tune playing in the background. The other versions of the game has music turned on as default.
SPOILER WARNING! Don’t read this item if you want to play through the game by yourself.
Xenon 2 is infamous for having one of the most disappointing ending sequences of all time. No artwork, no animation, no storyline, not even a congratulation -- after a strenuous battle with hundreds of enemies, you’re “rewarded” with the already well-known shop screen and a sarcastic comment. After that, a white dot. Then the main menu.

Sequel to the obscure 'Xenon' (ST, Amiga, PC, Spectrum), a game which, apart from being a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up, is otherwise unrelated.
The original title music of Xenon II was written by Bomb the Bass, released on their album 'Into the Dragon'. Of course the Amiga version of the song rules the PC one :)
