Lost In Translation/Namco Classics Collection Vol.1

About The Game
Namco Classics Collection Vol.1 is an arcade video and as its name implies is a collection of classic Namco games ("Galaga", "Xevious" and "Mappy") with original and updated 'arrangement' versions available. Additionally "Super Xevious" is available as well.

Secret Message In Xevious
The programmer has included a trick for generating a message right at the beginning of the game. As soon as Solvalou appears, move to the far right edge of the screen and begin bombing constantly. Continue bombing until the first set of attacking rings is very close to you and then shoot the rings. In original version / normal mode, the message 'Namco ORIGINAL Program by EVEZOO' will appear on the screen. In original version / super mode, the message is 'Special thanks for you by game designer Evezoo'. In arrangement version, the message is 'This game is dedicated to the original XEVIOUS staff'.
