      __long_description
      A hundred thousand years ago, an ancient civilization prospered on our Earth, their product being GAMP (General Artificial Matrix Producer). In order to survive the Ice Age, most of the Earth's inhabitants have decided to leave it, finally settling on a planet called Xevious. A group of humans remained, becoming our own ancestors. Many years have passed, and the Xevians are now planning a massive comeback to their long-lost homeland. The pilot Mu, his android companion Eve, and Mio, a Xevian who opposes the GAMP regime, are back from a space travel just in time to warn the Earth of the upcoming invasion. The prototype fighter craft Solvalou is going to be used as the main weapon against the Xevian attack. Xevious is a vertically-scrolling shooter which is notable for being the first game of that type to feature an aircraft flying over the Earth (as opposed to the outer space in other games), displaying views of South American nature. It also introduced, for the first time, two types of enemies to fight: aerial and ground-based (the menacing SOL towers invoked by GAMP to aid their planes). The player-controlled ship, Solvalou, is equipped with two weapons, each assigned to a button: the Zapper for air enemies, and the Blaster, which drops bombs on ground targets with the aid of a lock-on. The aerial enemies are divided into sub-categories distinguished by their attack and behavior patterns. Certain enemy types are immune to Solvalou's weapons, and must be avoided.

      >Many eons ago, an advanced technologically orientated civilisation was  >forced to evacuate the Earth prior to the Ice Age.

Xevious  >forces will soon re-appear to renew their attacks with increased  >determination! ***Xevious*** is a vertical scrolling shooter arcade game that was  released by Namco in 1983 (but copyrighted as 1982). It runs on Namco  Galaga hardware, and was designed by Masanobu Endō (who later created  The Tower of Druaga). In North America, the game was manufactured and  distributed by Atari, Inc.. In Brazil, the arcade cabinet was printed  with the name of "COLUMBIA" for the game, while the software still  showed the original title of "Xevious". ***Gameplay*** The player must use an 8-way joystick, to pilot a combat aircraft  called a Solvalou, which is armed with a forward-firing Zapper for  aerial targets and a Blaster which fires an unlimited supply of  air-to-surface bombs for ground targets. The game, presumably set  in Peru, was notable for the varied terrain below, which included  forests, airstrips, enemy bases - and mysterious Nazca Lines-like  drawings on the ground. There are various aerial enemy aircraft which fire relatively  slow-moving bullets at the player, as well as (presumably unpiloted)  fast-moving projectiles, and exploding black spheres. Ground enemies  are a combination of stationary bases and moving vehicles, most of  which also fire slow-moving bullets at the player. Giant floating  Andor Genesis motherships appear in certain areas; these must be  defeated by knocking out their cores, and are considered one of the  first level bosses to be incorporated into a video game. The game scrolls through 16 areas, looping back to Area 7 after Area  16. The Solvalou continually advances over varying terrain, and the  boundaries between areas are marked only by dense forests being flown  over. If the player dies, play will normally resume from the start of  the area - but if the player has completed at least 70% of the current  area before dying, play will resume from the start of the next area  instead. As the Solvalou continuously flies forward, it is possible  to advance without defeating any enemies. ***Ports*** Xevious has been ported to multiple other formats, including the  Atari 7800, Atari 8-bit, NEC PC Engine, and Nintendo Entertainment  System game consoles, as well as the MSX, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64,  Amstrad CPC, Apple II and Atari ST home computers.
