Can anyone advise of any "Xevious" clones that exist for the 8-bits aside from Espial?

I would reccommend you try FLAK and HAWKQUEST -- both pretty good IMHO...

Xevious was one of my fave arcade games way back.

I couldn't afford Atari computers then. I couldn't afford the arcade game either, but I did manage to play now and again...and again...and again.

Blue Max, Blue Max 2001, Panther & Thunderfox are all similar scrolling type games...but not vertically.

Acck - Thunderfox - that game is BLOODY frustrating. It's soooo damn hard! Graphics aren't bad, but it is frustrating to the point of videogame rage.

I use my 7800 for Xevious. Plays a great version of it!

er -- I think the request was "Xevious clones" -- not any old scrolling shooter I can remember :)

Like I said both Flak and Hawkquest are very close to Xevious, in-fact in the development notes for Hawkquest the guys cited Xevious as their influence (and one of their favorite games)...
