About Xenophage

Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport is a 1996 one-on-one fighting game by Argo Games, published by Apogee Software. Alien warriors fight in scrolling arenas that zoom in and out with the distance between the fighters. It has violent content.

Apogee released it as freeware in 2006 and keeps its rights. This page runs the original DOS files unmodified using js-dos, which runs DOSBox in your browser, under this site's removal policy: the game is taken down if the rightsholder asks.

Controls

  • Arrows: move
  • A S D / Z X C: punch and kick (F1 shows help in a fight)
  • Enter: choose
  • Esc: back / menu

Keyboard and mouse work best. On-screen buttons appear for the keys the game needs on a touch screen.
