The introduction sequence for a new game

Beginning a two player game

Player one explores the Xeno filled ship

Argh, I've been knocked down!

After clearing the level, you set self-destruct and get away

The valuables collected are counted

You're on to the next station

Even after being hit, you may shoot from a laying position

Operate the elevators to go between levels

Lot's of aliens to shoot here!

Crouching and attacking...

Yikes, get that alien off of me!!

A scene from the intro

Some of the original characters ported from the arcade game...

...and some of the new ones created for the Lynx version. Characters differ in appearance only.

Arriving at the first infested station

A computer readout helpfully reports your progress

Crawlers can attach themselves to you and drain your health until you jump to shake them off

Some stations put pressure on you to complete your task quickly (note impending impact)

Coming face to face with a snotterpiller without your gun is very, very bad

Leaving a base (cleared or not) shows you how you did

Arriving at a new station

The most advanced form of alien can zap you with electricity or throw rocks at you

Do NOT stand up next to tentacles coming from the ceiling

You can play the game until all characters are exhausted

An advanced alien throws rocks at you, which dislodges your gun. At the same time, a bomb manufacturing machine is going crazy. Get out of there!

If the situation is hopeless, you can issue a self-destruct

I haven't encountered anything living that large in the game... yet.

It pays to explore as much of the station as you can for valuable hardware
