Welcome awesome ladies and gentlemen to the third (3rd) and final part of my newest and original special series entitled "Atari 5200 Unreleased Treasures", which actually pertain to some seriously damn excellent classic games for the Atari 5200 that SADLY never got a chance to be officially released to us at all due apparently to the Video Game Crash of 1984 that came in the USA from during that time... and that is just why I present to you this series indeed!!

Right here, we check out an excellent conversion of the very tough 1982 arcade game known as Xevious on the Atari 5200, which was unfortunately cancelled in order to make way for the Atari 7800, in which the released Atari 7800 version of this game was the MOST definitive of the Xevious games ever put out on any Atari game console today, period. Perhaps that well-explains why this 5200 version here is simply an unreleased prototype, despite the fact that it handles such smooth vertical scrolling so damn amazingly here!! And what's more, you are now seeing a video of this unfinished conversion right here on YouTube for the VERY first time anywhere, and wait until you see how surprisingly well I played this sucker, too!!! (^-^)v !!

This AMAZING lost discovery of a game on the Atari 5200 is now currently available officially from the Atari Age site, located beginning at:

Thank you so much for watching, and I do hope to see you again!!! ;)
