 Phosphor Dot Fossils | Xevious (NES)
It wasn't the first version of Xevious ever to hit a home console - Atari, who held the arcade rights for Namco's genre-defining scrolling shoot 'em up in North America, made sure it had the rights for its home consoles too.
But this meant that when the 7800 and its version of Xevious hit the shelves, they were up against the NES - and this far superior version of Xevious released by Japanese toy company Bandai.
If nothing else, this Xevious is easier to pick up and play than the 7800 version; the NES' unambiguous two-button controller makes it a bit less confusing than the two-button 7800 ProLine joysticks.
