Xargon

Xargon is the protagonist of the ZX Spectrum game, E.T.X (Extra Terrestrial Xargon) - the game itself being a rip-off of the infamous E.T - The Extra Terrestrial game for the Atari 2600.

The game is overall similar to the Atari version - with Xargon collecting the three telephone pieces needed to 'phone home' and leave Earth.

Differences between E.T and E.T.X

 * Xargon's appearance is a rip-off of E.T.
 * The story takes place in Britain instead of America.
 * Due to the location change, Xargon's main enemies are MI5 agents instead of the FBI.
 * Additionally, the Reese's pieces used in the game are replaced with fruit, due to the UK not selling Reese's Pieces at the time.
 * The boy who finds Xargon is called Ernie instead of Elliot.
 * Xargon talks a lot in the game - speaking with a North-London accent. He most notably says the phrases "Be Good" when meeting Ernie and "Ouch!" whenever he's touched by an enemy or falls into a pit.
 * Ernie has the last of the telephone pieces and doesn't give it to Xargon until Xargon bribes him with fruit.
 * The pit falling glitch from the original is fixed, with Xargon able to 'beam' himself out before he hits the bottom.
 * The game also has a difficulty setting, with the Easy mode removing all enemies from the game.
