Did you run out of quarters the last time you played Xevious at the arcade? Don’t worry, because this Wednesday gamers will have a second chance to take down the nefarious supercomputer GAMP and defeat the Andor Genesis mother ship in “Xevious.” Newcomers to this arcade classic that helped pioneer the vertical scrolling shooter genre can also experience it for the first time on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, May 23 at 2:00 a.m. PDT.
“Xevious” will be available worldwide for 400 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone.
Game Features
- Play the 100% arcade accurate reproduction of “Xevious” for the first time anywhere
- Test your memory: uncover hidden bonuses that are scattered throughout the levels just like in the arcade version, where shots to the ground uncover power-ups like Sol towers and 1UPs
- Compare your high score against other “Xevious” players from around the world on the Leaderboards
- Earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points
I’m underwhelmed by the double retro game this week. At least there are two of them to choose from.
