verse game play, as no wave is ever the
same with this self-percentaging feature.
XEVIOUS provides a unique competition
between the player and a "smart" com-
puter that really responds to player input.
The worldwide introduction of XEVIOUS
dominated the spotlight at the Distributor
Open House held on February 7 by the
Coin Video Games Division, although
show attendees were given a "sneak pre-
view" of the game at London's Amuse-
ment Trades Exhibition in January where it
also stole center stage. On top of being so
well-received in Europe, it has met with
considerable enthusiasm in the United
States test locations. Don Osborne, Vice
President of Marketing, affirms: "From the
first involvement with the product, our
'gut' feelings have been incredible. Mar-
ket research has confirmed that this
game will be a number one challenger
and probably the pacesetter for 1983."

Millipede M coin video game home with him when he ended his recent visit to the United

appearance of the ZOSH I death squad
which can clip the SOLVALOU's wings
with energy blasts unlike anything ever
previously encountered.
After battling his way through wave
after wave of enemy forces-each made
more menacing through the advanced
game graphics of the color raster-the
player meets the monumental controlling
source of the Xevious offensive, the AN-
DOR GENESIS Mothership. A direct hit to
her central reactor will disable her, but the
player should not be lulled into a false
sense of security. Xevious forces will soon

appear and renew their attack with in-
creased determination and vigor. The
fearsome aggressors just get trickier as
the player gets better.
XEVIOUS thrills with more treacherous
surprises as the player advances into the
upper point levels of the game. And only
by increasing his skills will he be able to
discover the secret ending of the b~le
for the planet Earth. It transgresses the
outer limits of the imagination.
XEVIOUS offers a unique game play
feature that challenges the player in a
way no other coin video game does. The
computer program self-adjusts the difficul-

player at the controls-moment by mo-
