+davidcalgary29 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Can anyone advise of any "Xevious" clones that exist for the 8-bits aside from Espial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I would reccommend you try FLAK and HAWKQUEST -- both pretty good IMHO... sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Xevious was one of my fave arcade games way back. I couldn't afford Atari computers then. I couldn't afford the arcade game either, but I did manage to play now and again...and again...and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Blue Max, Blue Max 2001, Panther & Thunderfox are all similar scrolling type games...but not vertically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Blue Max, Blue Max 2001, Panther & Thunderfox are all similar scrolling type games...but not vertically. Acck - Thunderfox - that game is BLOODY frustrating. It's soooo damn hard! Graphics aren't bad, but it is frustrating to the point of videogame rage. I use my 7800 for Xevious. Plays a great version of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 er -- I think the request was "Xevious clones" -- not any old scrolling shooter I can remember Like I said both Flak and Hawkquest are very close to Xevious, in-fact in the development notes for Hawkquest the guys cited Xevious as their influence (and one of their favorite games)... sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
