We Have Seen the Aliens... and They Are Us!

It's a nightmare, but it's true! Research shows that we are the actual aliens on Earth, and the ruthless Xevions are the original inhabitants.

Now the Xevions want Earth back -- minus humans! Their invasion forces are fierce -- the land is crawling with deadly Domogram Rovers; the sky is black with Toroid Patrol Fleets and Zoshi Death Squads.

Our puny weapons offer no defense. Earth's only hope is our powerful new Solvalou Fighter Plane. Its pilot will have a single mission: Penetrate the enemy ranks and destroy the Xevious Mother Ship.

The mission is dangerous. We can't guarantee success. But at this point, it's do or die!

One small problem. We still need a pilot. Any volunteers?

Shoot stuff with your wicked spaceship.

**The original all-out blitz!

Features** * Two players alternating * Save high scores * Vertical-scrolling shooting action

Those invaders from space, they landed. Turns out that Earth is a pretty cozy place, but you have a housewarming gift they're not going to like. Hop in your Solvalou and take back Earth in Xevious, part of the NES Classics Series.

One of the first vertical-scrolling games, Xevious calls for you to man your aircraft, the Solvalou, shoot air targets and bomb ground forces. You'll need to blast the motherships in order to send the aliens packing. No need to worry about trigger-finger fatigue. Just hold down the buttons for repeat weapons fire.

Find the hidden Sol Citadels, silo-like structures, to score big points. Special flags are also hidden in the game to give you an extra life. If you progress through at least 70% of a given area and lose your ship, you'll start at the beginning of the next area. If you don't make it far enough, you'll have to start over at the beginning of the area.

Bottom Line

Two players can alternate gameplay on a single Game Pak or through a Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable in this action-packed shooting game.

XEVIOUS

Another Classic Atari coin-op hits the 64! -Zzap 64

Many eons ago, an advanced technologically orientated civilisation was forced to evacuate Earth prior to the Ice Age. Now, these Xevious people are returning to reclaim their heritage through conquest. From the controls of your Solvalu super spacecraft, you must defend the Earth from takeover by the Xevious invaders! Flying a search and destroy mission, you will cruise over the scrolling landscape, bombing Xevious ground entrenchments and zapping the air targets that come into range. Easy. But now look out for the flying mirrors - impossible to destroy; a collision will spell certain death! In the event of your surviving wave after wave of enemy onslaughts you will encounter the controlling force of the Xevious offensive; the Anor Genesis Mother Ship! This is your goal. A direct hit to her central reactor will disable her, but do not be lulled into a false sense of security. Xevious forces will soon re-appear to renew their attacks with increased determination!
