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.

Good thing you couldnt afford and Atari computer since it never came out for it

THough thanks to 'Glenn' we got to play the 5200 version

..which is incredibly nasty

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)...
