I can't find references to cover WP:GNG; given that it's a bootleg copy of a game, that's rather unlikely. There are things on arcade history websites, but since they list every game, bootleg and variant ever made it's not really evidence of importance. Ironholds (talk) 12:01, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NN. It is a very obscure topic only die-hard fans would search for. > RUL3R >trolling >vandalism  12:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Really? I had one of these boards in the 80's. Presumably there are others in existence. This makes it a potential collectible. And should rare items be excluded from Wikiepedia just because they are rare? AND, yhey may be few and far between, but they do exist in virtual form, so there is a potential on-going life of this game through things like MAME. However, if you insist on applying WP:NN or WP:GNG, then should this instead be noted in the Xevious main page in a section called boot-legs or copies or something similar? Or is this too insignificant to be mentioned even there? Pioneer2056 —Preceding undated comment added 12:36, 3 January 2010 (UTC).
 * It might be worthy, but probably only as a note that bootlegs were made, such as... and so on. Ironholds (talk) 14:38, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge to Xevious. It might be able to fit over there. –MuZemike 17:38, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Xevious. Its notability if any derives from Xevious. -Thibbs (talk) 17:33, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Xevious - not notable enough to stand on its own. --Teancum (talk) 18:57, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
