Xenon 2: Megablast is a scrolling shoot-'em-up developed by The Bitmap Brothers and published by Virgin Games for a variety of systems including the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Master System. It is the sequel to Xenon, a game that was released for several home computers in 1988. The game was one of the only Mega Drive games not to see a release in either Japan or North America.

The game is a typical vertical shoot-'em-up: move around the screen with the D-pad and shoot with , collecting powerups dropped from enemies.

The Sega Mega Drive version is the more faithful port of the game, although there is heavy slowdown and sprite flickering. The final stage (mechanical world) is completely missing from the game. The Sega Master System version ommits player bullets during heavy processor workload, several bosses have been removed and the final stage is also missing.
