Summary Text

Thanks to Namco Museum Volume 2 and this release, the original Xevious is on the PlayStation twice.
This game, Rage Racer, Soul Blade, and one other all share the same design layout on the back of the case.

These are hidden bonuses and unlocks for Xevious 3D/+G and it’s earlier arcade versions.

Debug Mode
On the original Xevious’ main menu, highlight “Game Start” and then press Square + Cross + Start all at once. You will see ‘Debug Mode’ appear at the top of the screen. It’s assumed you have access to the arcade’s Dip Switches somehow, but further investigation is needed.
Hidden Message
In the original Xevious, the developer inserted a secret message that could be revealed at the very beginning of the game. Move your Solvalou to the far bottom-right corner and continue to bomb. As the first set of 2 spinning disc ships come very close to your Solvalou, shoot them down. The message should appear.The enemy ships will need to be practically and literally right in front of you for the trick to work.
