Xevious was the second shooter I ever played. As a young child, I had an Atari, and the first shooter I ever played was Galaga. Played for hours. To this day one of my favorites. One day I got the Xevious cartridge. I was in awe. A scrolling background that looked like a map, instead of a starfield? Objects in the game that you couldn't kill? Shooting bullets AND dropping bombs? Wow. This was all capped off when you reach a mothership. Wow, a giant enemy that takes up what seemed like 1/4 of the screen! I was genuinely terrified when I first saw that thing.
