zylon Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) If you can make it past the first stage, you'll beat me. I never have yet. 18,750 25,060 Edited May 18, 2011 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 19,000 I wasn't able to beat the first boss, i think it's best to just go to right side of the screen to avoid getting shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DamonicFury Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I haven't been able to beat the boss, either. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've never been able to beat it on any version of Xevious (and I remember trying particularly hard on the 7800 a long time ago.) 21,280 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps to flip the difficulty switch to fire both weapons at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in the 2600 version the tanks look like worms. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yeah, the 2600 one is just bad, but playable. The 5200 one should've been released. Even as-is, it plays fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I played this but only got 2ks so far. The fire "rods" seem to make hits, but the bullets don't? What are bullets for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "bullets" are actually bombs, and they are used to hit the ground targets (and, if you're really good, the boss ship) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Almost passed the boss base. 27,410 managed a little improvement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Seriously hard game! I got past (but didn't destroy) the mothership once, but my best score came when the damn thing blew me up each time. 27,630 (just a hair more than zylon... sorry, man!)

NML32 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I'm not going to be able to play this round. I've tried three controllers and I'm not able to get the bombs to fire unless there is something wrong with my 5200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried three controllers and I'm not able to get the bombs to fire unless there is something wrong with my 5200. Bombs are the upper fire buttons. Try them on another game to see which it is, system or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try them on another game to see which it is, system or other. It looks like it's my 5200 that is the problem. I tried Qix and second buttons do nothing. I'll take it to the 5200 forum and see if anyone has any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Atari Age says Xevious is a prototype. How do you guys play it on the real hardware? Is it on a multi-cart thing? Good luck, NML. Hope it's an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) I had a cart made some time ago. It sits right next to Battlezone and Sinistar. Edited May 22, 2011 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NML32 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Xevious 11,540 Not a high score but I'm happy I've now got a working 5200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hada score of over 20ks, but the screenshot didn't work. Have to try again soon, or just have no pics with my scores here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
