Xenophobe

Xenophobe was a comic multi-player arcade game produced in the mid - eighties by Bally Midway. Up to 3 Players moved independently around alien- infested space stations; each controlling a horizontal slice of the screen. Players could cooperate or compete as much as they they wished.

The game was fairly ambitious for it's time; virtually everything in the game could be picked up and used elsewhere on the ship. (i.e., You could pick up a floppy disc (!) in the engine room and use it to activate the teleporter in the control room.

The player characters were comic, big-headed bipeds who were greatly outnumbered by the ever-changing, (but always wickedly cartoony), aliens.
The game was designed by one of the co-creators of Rampage, Brian Colin.
