INSTRUCTIONS (Inlay text)
Many eons ago, an advanced technologically-orientated
civilisation was forced to evacuate Earth prior to the Ice Age.
Now, these Xevious people are returning to reclaim their heritage
through conquest. From the controls of your Solvalou super
spacecraft, you must defend Earth from takeover by the Xevious
invaders! Flying a search and destroy mission, you will cruise
over the scrolling landscape, bombing Xevious ground
entrenchments and zapping the air targets that come into range.
Easy. But now look out for the flying mirrors - impossible to
destroy; a collision will spell certain death! In the event of
your surviving wave after wave of enemy onslaughts you will
encounter the controlling force of the Xevious offensive; the
Andor Genesis Mother Ship! This is your goal. A direct hit to
her central reactor will disable her, but do not be lulled into
a false sense of security. Xevious forces will soon re-appear
to renew their attacks with increased determination!

None! (Which is a shame - the arcade original was one of my
all-time favourite games!)
