Xenon II (shop) screenshot

alexh · 30 March 2006, 14:14

Can anyone provide a screenshot of the shot in Xenon II where the shop owner identifies himself as "Crispin"?

I cannot produce any screenshots where I am at the moment.

I'll look through my screenshot archive this evening (it's over 100,000 screen dumps now!).

Dunno if it help, but once i uploaded a trained version to The Zone, where you can press "S" to enter shop anytime during play..

I hear that he was "Crispin" in the Floppy disk version and Colin in the CDTV version?

There seems to be too many references to him as Crispin. Can anyone get me a screenshot? Is this one of those urban myths and he was always called Colin?

just scanned from the manual

In-game the text reads:

"WELCOME TO COLIN'S BARGAIN BASEMENT"

It looks like a case of the programmer and manual writer having different ideas.

Yeah I used to play Xenon 2 alot and the name crispin doesn't ring a bell!

I know the CD version definatley uses Colin as I have ripped some of it for the demodvd

Crispin was the name of one of the games creators, I wonder if it was based on him, he complained but it was too late to take it out of the manual.
