Tips and tricks

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'.
