NES : Xevious : The Avenger Details

Game cartridge for NES.

Features

• Xevious (ƒ[ƒrƒEƒX, Zebiusu?) is a vertical scrolling shooter arcade game by Namco, released in 1982. It was designed by Masanobu Endoh. In the U.S., the game was manufactured and distributed by Atari. Xevious runs on Namco Galaga hardware. The player uses an 8-way joystick to pilot a combat aircraft called a Solvalou, which is armed with a forward-firing "zapper" for aerial targets and a "blaster" which fires an unlimited supply of air-to-surface bombs for ground targets. There are various aerial enemy aircraft which shoot relatively slow bullets, as well as (presumably unpiloted) fast-moving projectiles and exploding black spheres. Ground enemies are a combination of stationary bases and moving vehicles, most of which also fire slow bullets. Giant floating motherships appear in certain areas; these are killed by knocking out their cores. There are no discrete levels, rather the Solvalou continually advances over varying terrain. However, if the player dies, play continues from a set point. (i.e., there are levels but they merge into each other with areas of forest.) Nor are there "level-end boss enemies" that must be defeated to progress. As the Solvalou constantly flies forward, it is theoretically possible to advance without killing any enemies. The game was noted for the varied terrain below, which included forests, airstrips, bases, and mysterious Nazca Line-like drawings on the ground.
