Release Date

[1] lists the game as released in dec. 1982 in Japan. [2] also says 1982. The japanese flyer and in-game copyright says 1982. Is there a source for the release date being 1983? Schmid (talk) 06:20, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Xevious Scramble Mission

Someone please add information about Xevious Scramble Mission and the Let's! TV play classic series.

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

I often pronounce it Zi-viy-you, but I think zee-vee-us is correct — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:B162:81C9:E812:15DB:1571:158F (talk) 00:33, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The hidden side of Xevious

Many players of Xevious have never suspected there are invisible underground targets, several on many levels, that can only be found by direct hits with the blaster. These greatly improve the score. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freesumpin (talk • contribs) 12:19, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
