The scene: a convoy of vital new weapons is being transported by road to aid in the war against the Xenons.

Your mission: prevent any of the raiding parties from destroying the convoy.

Three Xenons at a time attack your scoutship as it patrols ahead of the main convoy. You must blast them or wait until their limited fuel reserves dry up, forcing them to abandon the attack.

Next, you must load the refueller with fuel pods and dock with your scoutship in time, then back to the attack.

Xenon is *fast*, with good sound effects. If you enjoy do or die games, Xenon's five levels and three difficulties should keep you happy for a long time.
