Gentleman!
Where are you located? This auction sounds
interesting but I suspect you're far from Virginia...
I've been thinking about getting one of the old
Xenophobe games myself. The arcade game was one of
the first cooperative multiplayer games out, so I used
to enjoy it (and the first Gauntlet) a lot.
I recall the Xenophobe game as also being no pushover,
but maybe my inability to pump quarters in held me
back from learning the secrets to success.
Do you know if there's a copy of the PROMs for
download into an arcade simulation program for a PC?
