Im so proud I beat this game on an IBM with green screen as a 7 year old kid! So many memories! The graphics are still incredible and the music is a blast! Just remake the damn game. Thanks for the video mate!
wooooaaahhh, i saw this game when I was a 6 years child, there in the 1995 more or less. The Alien supplier was horrible and I suffered some nightmares with him... since then I couldn't know anymore about this game... the music was so unforgetteable in my mind, sounds a little like the pitfighter pc speaker...
This brings back so many good memories from my childhood, my uncles left an old PC at my grandma's before getting married and they instaled this game just for me to play whenever we went visiting her and I used to play it a lot while mom and grandma prepared lunch. Miss those days.
@@P5BDeluxeWiFi True, but remember the version I played was on an IBM-PC Compatible with 8088 processor, in 1990 if I remember correctly. So anything less old would have been modern ^^
I got my first PC in 2003. 20 year anniversary about 1 month ago. I feel so old. It was preinstalled with everything you needed. Among the big boys like Return to Castle Wolfenstein (I always saw a review for that game on TV and wanted to play it. Loved it), Empire Earth, Unreal Tournament and Hitman 2 there was also Xenon 2. And a bunch of other old DOS games. I remember Duke Nukem 1 and 2, Cosmo, Asteroids, Bio Menace, Jill of the Jungle and Battle City (THE tank game, had to look up the name of this one). They were all burried after a bunch of subfolders without a desktop shortcut. I'm sure there are many others I can't remember. They were awesome games.
I remember that one-shot kill glitch in the powered up rear Drone. Looks like this applies to all copies of this game. It’s hilarious tiny white pixel from that little thing can actually take out bosses in one hit.
1992 : I play on my computer PC AT 286 - 16 Mhz, 1 Mb RAM, 40 Mb hard drive, Hercules graphic card, monochrome monitor. Fast speed. My friend have PC XT - 8 Mhz, 640 Kb RAM, 10 Mb hard drive, CGA graphic card, monochrome monitor. But slow. Verry funny slow speed. Great envy.
In 1991 for.my 10th birthday my 10 school friends gathered around and watched my 16 year old der brother complete this in black and white before he got the SVGA card. Suppose it was a 286. Even tho b+w it was essentially a pretty cool enough a thing for us to watch as entertainment , and to see arcade machine level graphics in a house just must have been a wow factor too. Amigas weren't installed in many houses in Ireland 1989/1990 I can tell that! Rich families who didn't mind spoiling their kids like my next door neighbour.. Holy shit they were electronics supplier millionaires and had the most powerful Amiga with basically arcade games in a room somewhere in their house. Slotting blue 3.5 inch discs into the side of the keyboard inbuilt drive on the *very* rare occasion my friends older brother who ran the whole show wasn't around. We were dutiful PC people working their way up the ladder , the older brother over there just got top end on the end of a golden stick and the guys on the other side of us had a Spectrum with cassettes. There's PlayStations on every corner now!. Ahh dems were indeed.
3:42 This is something that emulators can't really emulate I played this game on an XT back then, and I fully remember when you collect a "Z" powerup the whole screen would flash yellow for a second and a half or so, it was cool. Emulators just kills everything on screen and nothing else
It would happen differently one year after, when the Amiga would lack of colors, memory, fast CPU and enough sound voices also to get decent conversions of PC games (Wing Commander, Dune, King Quest V, Monkey Island 2, etc.). Amiga deceased a few years after also.
lol I remember being so afraid of the spider boss I didn't even want to look at it and kept pressing down so the ship wouldn't go further. Never got past that part because of that.
Exelent ! , im play in my XT 8088 Hercules monitor ambar and finished too , im use it now in my IBM 5150 but too slow , in my 386dx40mhz play too fast i think ,great video and a lots of memories
It really brings back good memmories... I don't know why, but I looked more cool when I used to team with my brother.. Even the music didn't sound so bad... lol..
I had this game as a child!! I remember after beating a boss or somewhere along the game it said "please insert disc 2" or something like that and I coulndt continue playing because I didnt had disc 2 lol
Hey I noticed when configuring the keys for this game, that there's a button which makes the ship "dive," but when I press it nothing happens. What's it supposed to be used for and what's supposed to happen?
If I remember correctly, in the last levels there is a "weapon" called "dive" available in the store. Maybe they are related... If you find out, spread the word :)
@@doraz77 will do. I'm not good at the game, but there's an infinite life cheat on the dos version. I could try activating that, speeding thru until I can buy the dive weapon, and then see what happens
@@ReCharredSigh The "dive" powerup is first available in the shop between level 2 and 3 (after defeating the spider boss), for 4000 credits. It lets your ship go in the background for about ten seconds upon activation, dodging everything for that duration. Personally it was the reverse situation: as a kid I noticed this powerup but didnt know about the dive key so bought it for nothing.
all bosses are beaten too easy. maybe that's game design flaw however the player has a great experience in playing so he might be just pro in level passing
The game of my childhood. I played with my brother and dad at his work many years ago. So incredible to see this video. Many thanks to author
Também jogava no trabalho do meu pai.
yeh dude! I had a 386th and a lot of great games. It was one of my favorite games.
My old 286 keyboard space bar remembers this game.
Brings back a lot of memories from the 90s thanks for posting.
My God!!! I remember playing this on my 286 PC with Hercules graphics card and monitor...Thx for the memories m8!!!!
Me too, like you....hercules graphics with an horrible green screen !!
8086 for me! Black and white monitor
Trying the c for cga simulation or simcga in the basic computer language. My 286 was a Schneider europc II.
@@jarvis8206 amber one for me I loved it. all the games looked like they took place during sunset🤩
Im so proud I beat this game on an IBM with green screen as a 7 year old kid! So many memories! The graphics are still incredible and the music is a blast! Just remake the damn game. Thanks for the video mate!
yes! finally found this game! I've been looking for it for so long! brings back childhood memories
Best heard in PC speaker.

The Alien supplier was horrible and I suffered some nightmares with him... since then I couldn't know anymore about this game... the music was so unforgetteable in my mind, sounds a little like the pitfighter pc speaker...
Still the best spaceship game i ever played! The option to modify yr ship made it unforgetable.
This brings back so many good memories from my childhood, my uncles left an old PC at my grandma's before getting married and they instaled this game just for me to play whenever we went visiting her and I used to play it a lot while mom and grandma prepared lunch. Miss those days.
thanks bring back my childhood memories
Wtf.. The amiga version was ahead of its time
We really need a remake of this game with modern graphics and real sound (I played this on PC, and the Amiga version was sounding so much better lol).
Xenon 2000 PCF was a free 1st level of a PC remake by the Bitmap Brothers. 20 years ago though, so by no means modern.
@@P5BDeluxeWiFi True, but remember the version I played was on an IBM-PC Compatible with 8088 processor, in 1990 if I remember correctly.
So anything less old would have been modern ^^
Having Bitmap brothers style graphics hasn't harmed Huntdown though eh..
look at the game HYDORAH
I used to play this game with my dad when I was a kid. I would've loved to show him this. Thank you for uploading this mate

Behold the power of pc speaker!!! 😃😃😃
I played this as a kid and never even got to level 2. Some of these old DOS games are super hard.
Fun Fact: this game only uses PC beeper for audio; this is how the game was intended to sound like.
Pc speaker is best of the best

как будто снова в детство вернулся!
Awesome game, I played this when I was like 3 years old :-D

Played this on my Olivetti 286. Still have it to this day! Great game, but as a kid I couldn't beat the 2nd stage though 🙂
Un remake de esto seria espectacular.....
Fingers crossed someone will read your comment mate. It would incredible! Bitmap brothers could sell the rights easily!
thanks for reminding me how shitty the pc was compared to an amiga 500
It would happen differently one year after, when the Amiga would lack of colors, memory, fast CPU and enough sound voices also to get decent conversions of PC games (Wing Commander, Dune, King Quest V, Monkey Island 2, etc.). Amiga deceased a few years after also.
Awesome. I love this game. Especially because I have also flown a mission on World 2 in the past.
lol I remember being so afraid of the spider boss I didn't even want to look at it and kept pressing down so the ship wouldn't go further. Never got past that part because of that.
I used to play this in a second hand 386 my mom got me for highschool. Good times.
Exelent ! , im play in my XT 8088 Hercules monitor ambar and finished too , im use it now in my IBM 5150 but too slow , in my 386dx40mhz play too fast i think ,great video and a lots of memories
lots of memories, indeed :)
Thanks for uploading this
It really brings back good memmories... I don't know why, but I looked more cool when I used to team with my brother.. Even the music didn't sound so bad... lol..
Also used to team with my younger brother. I got him to bash the space bar repeatedly, and I had the easier job of maneuvering the ship lol
Press the letter "i" when selecting VGA to get god mode.
Dam the pc sound was so far behind back then
Please help! How to make the shooter constantly, and not press the space bar every time?
Why not use soundblaster?
You have pressed the ‘i’ key!
Este juego merece un remake, para mi el mejor juego naves de ese tipo de todos los tiempos!!!
Oh the shitty music this game had blasting from inside the computer. Now i can appreciate it more
Best MRI music ever !
26:30 la masacre... increible el nivel de dificultad...
I know, easy cash 😁
the sound is completely fucked? The music wouldn't chop like that from firing .. not sure if this is a dosbox or ?
That 12way reardrone on the rearis jacked it killanythingwithone pixel
I had this game as a child!! I remember after beating a boss or somewhere along the game it said "please insert disc 2" or something like that and I coulndt continue playing because I didnt had disc 2 lol
Same problem. Must've been a hidden layer of copy protection.
That's why i looked up this video
What is electro ball's function??

I thought the Dive key/function was a bit useless!
Паука убивал, а вот следующего босса не мог пройти
nostalgia 🥰
Amiga owners laugh at this
You gotta love that pc speaker lol
I was playing this on my Amstrad PC 1512 with a B&W monitor. So many memories 👌
No Sound Blaster support?
lot of time playing this game never got the last stage. The game is great but the end is dreadful
Oooohhhh this sound 😱😱😱😱
i remember this game being retardedly hard. i could only manage to get to level 2. without cheats
You could press the key I when the game was loading to get infinity energy (no damage)
I like that sound...
all bosses are beaten too easy. maybe that's game design flaw however the player has a great experience in playing so he might be just pro in level passing
Dominas bro MASTER
초딩때 컴터실에서 재미나게했던게임 너무 반감다ㅜㅜ
Amiga sound is great. This is awful.
wow! this game is...
bendiciones
xenon2 pasar a la final de los juegos benciendo al animal de zenon de maquina buenos score en el espacio
Amiga version rocks all over.......
Моя любимая игра!!!!
hermoso
Internal speaker, como está mandao.👍🏻 buenos gráficos.
Hercules
Um...possible the worst version of this game....who is strangling the sound chip?!
After undertale this game is easy
The sound of the pc version is awful
Buy a gudder soundchip
WOW that sounds bad better to emulate Amiga version
The best version is the movie soundtrack of assault on presinct 13 1976. Must be the original too.
This is pathetic compared to the Amiga version
agreed x10
Pathetic is exagerated of course. Master System or GameBoy versions are pathetic. This is a decent port.
