There's been a burst of sales today. Word got out in some more popular channel than EAB probably. Same happened with Supercars 2.

Highscore save! Yay!

@jotd great job, Xevious works very well with my CD32 with Promodule, A1200 mit Blizzard 1230 and A1200 with Apollo 1260.

No, I thought that but it doesn't

I just tested and it does. Of course floppy needs to be write-unprotected

I tested from hard drive, no whdload. After entering a highscore, I pressed ESC and restarted and my hiscore remained. A "xevious.high" was created.

Ah, I see what's happened. It DOES save the highscore table, but it DOESN'T save the single highscore that's displayed at top centre when the game starts, so I thought it hadn't. (I'm playing from ADF.)

confirmed. And fixed in a future release

Yes, it was tested with latest version.

Would be nice if there were separate highscores for the two games, too

One other minor bug I've noticed - if you get killed before the opening jingle has finished playing (which can be surprisingly easy in Super Xevious), all sound disappears until you reboot the game.

Yes, fair enough.

Damien reported that too, and that's already fixed as well
