Mickyd: Undo revision 11234 by Carney (talk) reverted change made by previous author since it conflicted with the intent and truth for when the game is written. Photoshop clones that might be available in the 21st century are irrelevant for the time.

Xenion is an arcade-style vertical-scrolling shooter game written in assembler. Xenion was Michael's first published game who was 17 at the time.

==Introduction==
Xenion was written by Michael Duncan of Australia and contracted to Diecom Products of Canada who had international (except in Australia) publishing rights. Another version was sold to Computer Hut Software (CHS) of North Queensland, Australia.

==Objective==
[[Image:Xenion_welcome.png|right|thumb|256px|Welcome screen showing dashboard layout including playfield, shields, score and high score panel]]
The objective of the game is to traverse over a number of planets in a solar system flying in the Xenion XE-11 fighter. Up to two players can play in the usual arcade style of I-play-first-you-play-second interaction using a corresponding joystick. Whilst playing, the player must shoot down enemy ships, destroy tanks, laser projectors, force fields and dodge enemy missile attacks.
The setting will take the player over a series of environments: from empty space, planetary oceans, cities and deserts.
=== Mothership===
As with many games there is a ''boss'' element that the player must destroy in order to progress to the next level. In Xenion the boss takes the form of a giant octagon-shaped mother-ship.

==Versions==
==Simularities to Other Games==
Xenion bears resemblence to other vertical scrolling shooters, namely the 1982 arcade game Xevious by Namco.
