Xenia is a 1997 vertical-scrolling shoot-'em-up by Richard Theil, openly modeled on Namco's arcade classic Xevious. You pilot a fighter-bomber across enemy territory, strafing ground targets and dodging the rigid waves of attackers that pour in at every checkpoint.
Xevious, Reimagined for the Mac
The presentation is clean and arcade-faithful, with scrolling terrain and a familiar split between air-to-air guns and air-to-ground bombs. Fans of the original will recognize the rhythm immediately.
Brutal Difficulty
Xenia is famously unforgiving. It is extremely easy to die, which sends you back to the last checkpoint, where the same rigid formations of enemies attack again and again until you learn the pattern.
Compatibility
Xenia ships in both 68k and PowerPC builds and runs on System 7.0 through Mac OS 9, working well under SheepShaver and Basilisk II for modern play.
