Xevious 5 Screw NES is the vertical scrolling shooter from Namco in the 5-screw cartridge shell. Bandai published the NES version in North America in September 1988. The arcade original arrived in North America in February 1983.
You pilot the Solvalou starship against the Xevious forces. The ship has two weapons. A zapper hits flying enemies, and a blaster bombs ground installations and vehicles. Using both at once is the core of the game.
The game has 16 connected areas, and it loops back to the first area after the last one. At certain points you face the Andor Genesis mothership. You can beat it by destroying its four blaster receptacles or its central core.
Secrets are part of the design. Hidden Sol Citadels appear when you bomb specific spots in an area, and the bomb reticle flashes red when it is over one.
Collectors track two shell types for many NES cartridges of this era: a 5-screw version and a 3-screw version. This page is the 5-screw Xevious NES cartridge. We also sell a separate Xevious listing. Check the photos on this page to see the exact cartridge and label you will receive. The game on this cart is the same Bandai release, made for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
