Xenophobe Description

A horizontal monitor is split into three sections, one for each of up to three people. Players wander around a space station shooting as many Ridley-Scott-esque aliens as they can before health or time runs out; then it's off to the next space station. There are multiple weapon types, including a duck gun!

Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

Cheat - To get an unlimited quantity of grenades, throw one grenade into the next room before you walk in. Some rooms will give you three grenades to pick up when you follow into the room. You then can walk in and out of the room thowing one grenade in and picking three up.
