Rick Dangerous #1 Posted October 9, 2015 From Alberts update today: "One upcoming homebrew to check out is Xevious, an original, authentic port of the popular arcade game distributed by Atari. This port has been written from scratch by AtariAge user Shamus, and will be available in cartridge form once complete." That's the first i've heard of it! Very cool, hope there is a 2 player option. Can't wait, has anyone heard anything further or know of a pre-order list? 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trooper Galactus #4 Posted October 9, 2015 Just played this on my arcade machine! Always liked the multi-dimensional aspect requiring use of bombs to attack ground targets (something lost in Raiden). Look forward to seeing how this turns out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+save2600 #12 Posted October 9, 2015 Me: "hey look, Xevious is coming to the Jaguar"! My GF: ...just looks at me funny. Me: "You know, that game we play on the 7800 and arcade downstairs". My GF: "So, I feel we don't need it for the Jaguar too"... Me: "We'll see about that". 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My GF: "So, I feel we don't need it for the Jaguar too"... Me: "We'll see about that". Its prolly going to look and play great on the Jaguar tho, I'm sure it'll be at least as nice as the original arcade version, maybe even have some 64-bit enhancements. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trooper Galactus #19 Posted October 10, 2015 Mmmmmm, Xevious 2000!! Wouldn't it have to be Xevious 3000 now? Doesn't seem very futuristic otherwise. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guitari #20 Posted October 10, 2015 To hell with it; Xevious 4000..all Jags will be dead by 3000. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirlynxalot #21 Posted October 10, 2015 I wonder how the screen aspect ratio will be dealt with? Maybe a border with powerup/score information a la Raiden? I know some people would be enthused if it displays at a 90 degree tilt requiring the TV to be rotated to simulate the arcade experience, but the casual player in me would prefer the Raiden method Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
