| Super Xevious | Namco | 1984 | Difference from Xevious: * Several new characters appear in the game including a silver-grey Galaxian flagships, a large jet, a small jet, a helicopter and a small tank. The Galaxians can be shot like any other enemy. The large jet which flies down cannot be shot or collide with the player ship and doesn't have any obvious purpose. The small jet, helicopter and tank (all of which are tan colored) can be picked up for bonus points but if shot will reset the score to zero ! * Gameplay is a bit more difficult. * The hidden Sol Citadels are in different locations.***It's basically an expert course for veteran players, with much harder enemy patterns and some new enemies. Bringing the total characters to thirty two, the new entries are, for the most part, human vehicles such as planes or helicopters that you must try to 'rescue' for points, instead of shooting them. A couple of Galaxian aliens were added too. | labelimageminimize |
