Cynicaster Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Xevious is one of the first carts I had for the 7800 in the 80's, and it's been quite some time since I sat down to play it. When I did so last night, I noticed that both the bomb and the gun are mapped to a single button--which is a good thing because I don't currently have a fully functioning 7800 joystick, and I can use a trusty CX40 (which I prefer anyway). In fact, even back in the 80's, I always played 7800 games with the 2600 stick whenever possible. It's been 25 years so my memory is a bit foggy, but I could swear I remember it being possible to play Xevious with the 7800 joystick and have the gun and bomb mapped to separate buttons. Am I imagining things? If it's possible, how do you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Use the difficulty switch to change how it works with a two button joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armonigann Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Seems like I remember using a CX40, the ship in Xevious drops bombs and shoots at the same time when the button is pushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
