[edit] Similar game?

I haven't played this game, but it appears to be almost exactly like Ambrosia Software's Mars Rising and Deimos Rising. puddingsucks 06:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Looks like Ambrosia have 'lovingly recreated' the basic premise, yep. --Air 18:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How to pronounce the title?

Is it pronounced "ecks-eh-vus", or "zee-vee-us"? Either way I think it could be argued that the pronunciation should appear in the article. ekedolphin 08:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

It would be worth describing if only there were something to base it on. I call it "zee-vee-us", but who's to say what's correct? It's a made-up name, so presumably whoever made up the name gets to decide. In Japanese it's clearly ゼビウス ("zebiusu"), but if "devious" is pronounced "dee-vee-us" in English then "zee-vee-us" seems reasonable. The description of the TV commercial strongly implies that indeed that was how it was pronounced. -- Paul Richter 08:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

It is pronounced zee-vee-iss.66.72.201.167 (talk) 21:40, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

So is it a made-up name? Does it not mean anything e.g. in Japanese? What does the word "xevious" mean? If the title has no meaning then that should be written into the article, I suggest.--Szipucsu (talk) 19:18, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

As the katakana indicate, it is pronounced "zeh-vee-us". Everything points to the title being a made-up word. Despatche (talk) 02:19, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

[edit] when in the future is this? and whats the name of the aliens?

id like to know when in the future this is. my guese is this takes place in the 22nd century or later. what is the name of the guys you fight? i think there aliens but they may just be people on earth that are being terroists or rebling or something. id like to learn more of the plot. i have this game for Atari 7800 but i threw the box away and that may have said the plot details. necropolis 99.51.212.6 (talk) 12:50, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
