  It's a circa 1993 game, MSDOS based.

  The "questionable" version appears identical except (of course) for the
executable, where it's now:

  Smaller (27K verses the original 58K)
  It's now called Xenon2setup.exe instead of the original Xenon2.exe.
  It's now majically a win32 executable, where it used to be a DOS exe file.
  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out it's a virus, trojan or both.

  The official Xenon2 game can be download freely, (google xenon2 and you
should find at least a couple of sites that have it available for download).

  Note that one site claims is a windows 95,98,2000,ME,XP game, but they're
wrong, it's very definitely a DOS game.
