Comment: "At the time of Xain'd Sleena's creation, the arcade video hardware wasn't that great. Limited number of sprites on screen. The music programmers had to strugle to come up with something good using cheezy blips and ring-tone sounds. Nevertheless, this game remains a true arcade classic to me! Even with jerks, slow-downs, and occational word or two at the machine for not doing what I (as a kid) wanted - I loved playing it! The main theme is great, sound tracks go very well with each level, and you had a "choice" of which planet you wanted to charge at."

Comment: "i can't believe it! i've just found this game after 20 years of searching!
i played it on holiday in malta as a child and it ruined my life, turning me into a video gaming geek until i liked girls!
for anyone who remembers this and wants more of the same check turrican, it's possibly just as awesome. satfisfied at last."

Comment: "Xain is one of my favourite games of all time. Each world has clever terrain obstacles and a native boss of some sort (like a sea monster), and an enemy boss. After clearing each world, you get to take on the enemy's fleet of ships with your own ship, fun! I wish they'd port this game to the Game Boy Advance, it'd be perfect for the GBA. I also wouldn't mind seeing a few more worlds like an ice planet, for instance. The final level, the death star like artificial planet, is very hard, I have never been able to finish it, but it's a lot of fun to try."
