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!

Bally Midway, the Xenophobe maker, released 89 different machines in our database under this trade name, starting in 1981.

Other machines made by Bally Midway during the time period Xenophobe was produced include Rescue Raider, Spy Hunter II, Hardbody, Heavy Metal Meltdown, City Slicker, Lady Luck, Star Guards, Rampage, Motordome, and Karate Fight.
