 Xevious - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Super Xevious (1984) was practically the same game made significantly harder, and with a few rarely-seen new enemies.
In the U.S., the game was manufactured and distributed by Atari Games.
In 1983, the original Xevious was the first arcade game to actually have a televison commercial aired for it in the U.S. Atari promoted the game with the slogan "Are you devious enough to beat Xevious?" and closed the commercial with a tagline branding it "the arcade game you can't play at home."

 Xevious
Xevious is one of those rare games that is able to combine excellent graphics and sound with fun and challenging game play.
The graphics are as good as Zaxxon's or Tron's, but the game play is much better.
The basic concept is simple, as in all shoot-em-up games - try to stay alive as long as possible, while ranking up points by blasting anything that gets in your way.

 MAWS - showing resource: xevious
While Xevious enjoyed limited popularity in the U.S., the game was a huge cult hit in Japan, and to this day is considered one of the greatest videogames of all time.
Xevious was among the first games to use pre-rendered graphics and, among its countless innovation, was also the first vertically shoot-em-up that allowed accurate targeting of both airborn AND ground-based enemies.
If a player dies before less than 70% of an area has been completed, play restarts at the beginning of the same area; should a life be lost AFTER 70% of an area has been completed, however, play restarts at the beginning of the next area.

 Xevious 5200 - Digital Press Online
A good rule of thumb for Xevious is: the less phantomy or menacing an enemy looks, the more menacing it typically is.
Xevious was so cool, in fact, that Starcade even took the liberty of lifting the infectious background music and playing it during the show’s commercial break bumpers and brief "news segments."
Warning: you may get so involved in the game that you lose all touch with the outside world and constantly walk around in a daze while quietly humming that background music.

 Inside Pulse v2 .::. Review: Xevious (GBA)
Since Xevious is open-ended, by default it becomes a game that is designed to keep you coming back for more time and time again.
You will get so into Xevious that is becomes an extension of you when you're playing.
Luckily this is the only glaring weakness that Xevious has, and one that I can forgive very easily.

 Phosphor-Dot Fossils: Xevious
Xevious came toward the end of the Atari 2600's heyday, so not many home versions of it were made at the time.
Xevious appears in its original form on the increasingly hard-to-find Namco Museum, Volume 2, as well as a bonus classic edition in 1997's 3-D update of the game,
A very cool game indeed, Xevious was extremely challenging and quite nice to look at as well.

 Classic NES Series: Xevious for Game Boy Advance Review - Game Boy Advance Classic NES Series: Xevious Review
Unfortunately, the NES version of Xevious was never really all that great of a game, and its "classic" status on the NES is questionable, at best.
The original arcade game was played on a vertical monitor.
Iridion II is a great-looking shoot-'em-up that borrows many of its play nuances from the classics of yesteryear.

Had it been finished Xevious probably would have been a mainstay in most 2600 libraries and a big hit for Atari.

 Xevious Impressions - Mobile News at GameSpot
From what we've seen of the upcoming mobile Xevious, Namco's made every effort to put an arcade-perfect version of the game on the handset.
Namco's taken the liberty of enabling autofire to make your task easier on mobile, and attacking ground targets is as simple as maneuvering your bombsight over them.
Posted Oct 27, 2004 4:50 pm PT You might think that the mobile gaming market is already saturated with basic, top-down space shooters, but there's definitely room for a few more entries, such as a mobile port of Namco's Xevious.

 Phosphor Dot Fossils Xevious (NES)
If nothing else, this Xevious is easier to pick up and play than the 7800 version; the NES' unambiguous two-button controller makes it a bit less confusing than the two-button 7800 ProLine joysticks.
But, in one of the more unfortunate coincidences of the video game industry, none of the three planned versions of Xevious made it out of the starting gate on time.
(On the other hand, however, it could be argued that the game is best played with the arcade-style NES Advantage joystick - a D-pad just doesn't always feel right for Xevious.
