Xavious, a four year old veteran, can still be found tucked away in the corner of most arcades. Its classic battle sequences have never really become outdated, and it's just about to enjoy a new lease of life, thanks to US Gold who's releasing the computer version. Atari originally released the game in 1983 in the UK. though it was in fact programmed a year earlier by If Endo. an employee of Japanese based Nemo. On joining Nemo. Endo wrote a three-part scenario based around the planet Xevious and its inhabitants — artificially intelligent beings. which ungratefully turn nasty and threaten the planet's very existence. The game is viewed from above. though that rather flat look present in many earty games when played from this viewpoint is not too obvious, thanks to some excellent graphics and a clever use of shading which gives the background more depth. Skimming above this peaceful backdrop of forests, rivers, plains and vast stretches of water are the deadly shapes of the enemy of which there are about 24 types, all different but with one thing in common — they all spew forth deadly accurate firepower which looks unalarming, rather like cannon balls, but are fetal on impact Many of the enemy bases are stationery, but they will track your progress, firing in your direction as you try to slip pest Flying over Xevious is similar to a desperate shoot and dodge game. If you don't get the enemy installations before they tire at you, you end up having to dodge the cannon bells — difficult when they interweave to block your run up the screen. The enemy mothership is, of course, particularly tricky, being massive and extremely well fortified with cannon emplacements. Still, if you accelerate, decelerate, twist and turn, you might just make it through with a whole skin and hopefully with a decently respectable score, too, There are various tricks to earn bonus points — flying over the odd flag is just one way and if you blast certain objects on your flight through the game, hidden characters will appear. There are dozens of methods of playing Xevious which can only be found through trial end 11110t, although a book has been published giving away vital playing techniques to anyone interested in getting a high score of ten million. Xavious might be a oldie but it still ranks as one of the all time classics. The proof is in the fact that it's still around in the arcades. The only problem is that the damn editor won't let me enter the competition!!
