hehe. thats cos xevious blows! although i do concede that back in the day i thought it was pretty cool. and it was pretty advanced at the time.
now, bells & whistles. why has no one mentioned THAT?

Xevious is not a good game, it was just a different game that added some new ideas. Many other games went on and used those ideas very effectively.
Xevious is also one of the LEAST collectable classic atari games, along with Fast Freddie and Arabian.

Uh-oh. Here come the clouds. One of you heathens is about to get struck by lightning if you don't take it back! :)
Fast Freddie and Arabian stink, but anyone who likes Kangaroo better than Xevious better quit watching Queer Eye For the Straight Guy!
FractalWalk:
Xevious is not a good game
I've always thought Xevious was under-rated. With it's buried targets and hidden extra men, it was quite a challenge to find everything while still hitting 100% of the targets.
I think it had a good look and feel to it. It is one of my favoties behind Galaga.
Apollo:
Actually technically Scramble is a vertical shooter that scrolls horizontally. The monitor is vertical that's why I included it in my list.
