Really a wonderful arcade port that was unreleased due to the 1984 video game crash. Okay, so the video is in low resolution. But the arcade elements are all there. The Pokey chip is used to nicely recreate the arcade sound. The motion is slow but still a lot of fun. Highly recommended!

The game may be slow, the graphics may be pretty crappy, but the 5200 port of Xevious isn't that bad of a game. Although the 7800 version is a far better game.

Wow! I was really glad to see this rom and dloaded it.Geez! what a dissapiontment. You damn well know they could have done a much better job.I know the 5200/800xl/xe platform could easily convert this.One word : shovelware.
