Xevious definitely lacks the flash and frenzied pace of shooters released both before and after it, but it's worthy of its place in the genre.

Xevious was also one of the first games to incorporate large "bosses", and thankfully they're not very hard to destroy. One thing I don't like about Xevious is those black missiles that seem to materialize out of nowhere. The game includes a two-player mode, but it's alternating turns only. Xevious hardly seems like the groundbreaking game it once was, but this well-designed shooter is still a good time.

Good in its time, i'm sure, but things have moved on an aeon or two since 1986 - even on the NES. Still, the simple gameplay is solid enough and might appeal to the simpletons amongst you.
