look what i test-played tonight ...

[Superully]

i just got back from playing some rounds of xevious and i have to admit: THIS GAME ROCKSZZZ (although the background music doesn't). the game is for sale right now and fortunately - for the first time - the seller's location is really nearby - only 35 kilometers one way. so i took the opportunity to check out the game in person and not to rely on photos. here's the machine upon arrival 



the control panel has got cigarette burns, the vinyl is peeling off / cracking up in some places and the cone buttons have seen better days.



the lower part of the marquee is destroyed over the entire width of the cabinet - you can see the wood underneath! 



let's check the inside and turn on the test switch



everything's working properly



all in all, the condition of the cab is ok. marquee, control panel overlay and buttons would have to be replaced, sidearts are in so-and-so condition (some holes), edges are as one would expect from such an old game.

not sure what to do yet ...

Typical problem of those marquees. SW uprights have the same problem.

Nice to get a working game now and then

I'm not too crazy about Xevious, probably because I just never played it as a kid....

 Take it !!! 

CPO available on Arcadeshop.com, the only problem is the marquee  .... There is a repro around? 

In any case, another great found Ully !!!

Depends on the price of course, but you like the game and the cab is in damn good shape, despite the little marquee damages. You know that you can repair that.

So take it.

The shape of this cab is very nice! It looks like a spaceship!

Anyhow, take it if the price is good enought

[gyruss]

I really dig this cabinet, great artwork and gameplay! If the price is right I would go for it, otherwise pass it on to somebody on this forum

Game gets boring after 3 minutes and the background 'music' (and i use the term music loosely) is the most annoying ever. Always loved the cabinet though!!

[atarikid]

Yes! Take it!

Xevious is a mega classic. One the best vertical scroll shooters.

BTW I kinda like the music (small tjielps bursts). Very hypnotic.

[jcp]

Such a beauty, you should take it Ully  !
Well, it depends of the price for sure, but Xevious is a rare cab to find in my opinion.

[petieken]

The game may be a bit repetitive, but I would buy that cab for the art alone

I like cabinet artworks

My God! DO NOT MISS THIS! The game is fantastic... the best vertical shooter game ever made... and that cabinet looks very nice 
It's one of my all time three best games : Pac Man / Galaxian / Xevious!
The game play is perfect! (normal, it's a NAMCO game  ) The music is so 'hypnothic' ... don't miss this 'classic' of 'classic'!
All the reproduction parts are available ... except the BEZEL, but according the pictures, you won't need to change it!

I hope the price will be low, and you'll catch it! A MUST HAVE! A MUST HAVE ! A MUST HAVE !!!

SOLVALOU POWWAAAA!!!!! 

[Superully]

i'm afraid it's going to cost A LOT

I used to own one but I sold it.

Contrary to most people I loved the music just didn't love the game as much.
