This is a preview of a game I am being developing. It's a vertical shoot'em
up, designed as a tribute to Xevious, a game produced by Namco and Atari in
the early 80s.

Being this a preview, there are many things missing that will be introduced
once finished.  Many other improvements will be done (alien behaviour, ship
movement, sound effects and so on).  Thus don't think the game looks too
primitive!

In my full consciousness I ensure this game to be a whole production of
mine.  It has been redesigned from scratch.  I do not own anything coming
from the original coinop besides a couple of photos.  This demo tries to be
as similar as possible to the original game but there are also many
differences (graphics, alien movement) that will remain in the final
version too, mainly because this is a *tribute*, and in no way it will be
any kind of porting.

Moreover, I didn't develop this game for money.  Actually it is totally
freeware and you're free to do whatever you like, apart from modify or hide
the author name, or distribute without the document files as a commercial
product, in any support (disks, cds), Urban Mueller's AmiNet collection
being the only exception.

To demonstrate that this is *not* a copy from the coin-op, i'm ready to put
at anyone's disposal all Divumex sources and graphic screens.

Finally, I won't be held responsible for any damage occurred by the
[mis]use of this program. Anyway it has been tested very carefully by many
people with different machines, and no problems have been found.

I would be really glad if anyone who have tried Divumex sends me
comments, bugreports, or suggestions!
