I know Xevious doesn't get a lot of love but it's challenging and you have to mentally block out the hypnotic music. Good luck everyone! :D
 
My first time playing Xevious and I'm in first place! Sure it's because I'm the first one to put up a score, but after I bribe Griffin to shut down the ability to enter scores, I will be victorious by default and everyone gets to play Defender next week!!! Mwahahahahaha!

BTW - That game has an impressive number of different kinds of enemies. You need an encyclopedia to keep the all straight!
 
HOLY CRAP is this game so much harder at "HARD" difficulty. I can usually get to the Xevious ship and sometimes past it at the end of the level on EASY, on HARD... I've not made it there yet.

On EASY mode you don't even see those black "bullet" things... or the white "bullet" things or any of that crap until you get to like leg 3 ... on HARD difficulty that stuff comes out pretty much after about 10-15 seconds. Damn.
 
Oh god DAMN it! Of course Xevious gets picked when I'm on vacation! Love love LOVE this game. And the soundtrack...

Good luck piloting the Solvalou...
 
when playing this game in mame, does it matter if its the NAMCO or ATARI romset?

I don't think much difference if any. There are notes on the TG site that appear may have slight difference of dip switch setting to get same as noted in First post....

I keep the sound from this game on a constant loop in my office when I'm working, so soothing.
 
Bumping this for Mok, apparently wearing a DEVO hat all the time is beginning to cloud his thoughts LOL

:eek: ;) :D

I'm going to have to officially disqualify myself from this one. It turns out that I played Super Xevious and not Xevious. Count yourselves lucky that you have dodged the Defender bullet! (Well, unless someone else picks it!! Hint, hint. :D)

i don't blame you. i hate this game more then life itself. it's so impossible i would pay
Jim in green chile burritos (only avail in Colorado area, maybe Arizona, dunno) to watch
him play and master this game with his pretentious 78,000 score. HOW DO YOU DO IT???
at all time, every given fucking second, you have like 50 god damn bullets coming at you
from all 360 degrees on the screen endlessly. ugh. i'm rage quitting out of this contest,
fuck this shit. 12k is my best. good night.
 
...ah... Jim... a challenge!

Time to sweat out in the garagecade.

Oh why can't Santa Claus hook me up with a nice Split Mini A/C system?
 
Look at Jim... so I manage to best Jim's 78K game last night and come in with just over 80K... I felt pretty damn good about it to be honest... :D I thought my 71K was about the strongest I was going to be able to pull off.

This morning... looks like Jim's come over the top at 109K...

Nice score! I am not sure if I will be able to best it... and while I have never been one of the people to deride Xevious for it's music... at this point... it's just about driving me crazy.

:D
 
Just when I start to catch up Jim puts up a six digit score arrrrgggg!!! Always liked Xevious and though I was pretty good at it, then the hard setting punched me in the solvalou. Sorry Mok, looks like I sniped your score by 20 points :)

 
Disregard the 601,800 lol, it's supposed to be 60,180. Don't know how to erase my screw up, maybe Griffin or Brad can fix it.
 
Hmmm, I created this one - so I'd think that I should be able to edit scores. I tried a couple different ways but not luck. Probably needs to be done by Griffin. I'll reach out to him and see if he can fix it...

...then gotta post a score myself!


-GackAttack

Edit - I was able to figure out how to remove a player which put top scores back in places. But then when I added you back, it kept your same 600k score and automatically put you back in first place. So no fix yet, just waiting to hear back from Griffin o fix.

Are you able to go to your settings to possibly edit your score?


I see no option to delete it and it won't let me submit the correct one because of the bogus higher one.
