ABOUT

Futabasha's 79-page guide to Super Xevious: GAMP no Nazo, published in 1986 in its Famicom perfect strategy series and credited to Fighting Studio, the same byline as the publisher's Gradius guide of that year.

Namco's Famicom sequel to Xevious gated progress behind hidden riddle conditions, and Futabasha's guide was one of at least three competing 1986 volumes explaining them.

Together with its rivals it records the moment when a console shooter could be designed on the assumption that players would buy the book.
