Xevious/Gameplay

Controls
A) Joystick: Use the joystick to pilot the Solvalou in any one of eight directions. The Solvalou scrolls forward across the ground automatically, but you can direct the Solvalou virtually everywhere but the very top of the visual screen. B) Zapper button: The Solvalou has a double shot Zapper gun that destroys nearly every enemy in one shot. You can continue to fire multiple shots on to the screen at one time. C) Bomb button: As the Solvalou flies over the ground, a reticule appears a short distance in front of the ship. When you tap the bomb button, the reticule brackets disappear and a stationary cross shows where the bomb will land. D) 1 or 2 Players: Press these buttons to start a one or two player game.
