The Box Art: Presumably the only game box to ever double up as a Magic Eye illusion,
Xenon 2 Megablast is a genuine catastrophe in artistry, a slice of design work so ugly that even looking at it with one eye is enough to make anybody feel sick. Nobody knows what
Xenon 2 Megablast 2 is exactly - we're not even sure what the original
Xenon is, to be perfectly frank. Is this cover merely a case of abstract genius? Is it so clever in its execution that we're missing its deeper meanings? That would be nice, I suppose, if it weren't such a horrible, mutant fish-based eyesore. And yet, for all its genuine crimes, you can't argue its blazing originality.
