This release was ripped from an authentic physical CD of the original MS-DOS

media. It includes bin/cue CD image files of the original installation CD.



This release includes LaunchBox (and DOSBox) which will allow you to easily play

the game on modern Windows PCs. No configuration or installation is necessary.

Simply run LaunchBox.exe and then double-click on the game to play.



In the far future, gladiator-style blood sports were revived. The hero of the

game gets informed of them through an associate, whom he believes to be dead. In

order to get to the bottom of the mystery, he has to become a player in those

cruel battles, where only the most ruthless survive. Everyone fights to death,

because the loser's fate is worse than just death - the meat of defeated

contestants is used in fast-food burgers...



XS is a first-person shooter that consists entirely of these gladiatorial arena

battles, in a certain way simulating deathmatch competitions in a single-player

frame. The player has to fight through a number of rounds of free-for-all

combat, being able to choose two weapons before a match begins. Otherwise, the

game follows standard FPS rules, with strafing, jumping, occasional platform-

hopping, etc.
