!XenonDemo/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Xenon 2 Complete Playable Demo
By Games Ware

NOTE: If you have a 1Mb machine, you must decompress Xenon2 before running it. To do this, run this option to open the directory viewer as described below, and drag the !Xenon2 application to another disc. Then reset your machine, and run the application from the new disc without mounting any other discs beforehand. For more information on machine compatibility, see the !!ReadMe!! file.

Xenon 2 is destined to be the next 'big thing' in the games market, and you can play a complete section of the full version with this exclusive demo.

Run this option to open a directory containing the Xenon 2 demo, and a text file called !!ReadMe!!.

The text file contains all the instructions you need for the demo, which can be run by double-clicking on the Xenon2 icon.
