[edit] Similar game?

I haven't played this game, but it appears to be almost exactly like Ambrosia Software's Mars Rising and Deimos Rising. puddingsucks 06:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Looks like Ambrosia have 'lovingly recreated' the basic premise, yep. --Air 18:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How to pronounce the title?

Is it pronounced "ecks-eh-vus", or "zee-vee-us"? Either way I think it could be argued that the pronunciation should appear in the article. ekedolphin 08:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

It would be worth describing if only there were something to base it on. I call it "zee-vee-us", but who's to say what's correct? It's a made-up name, so presumably whoever made up the name gets to decide. In Japanese it's clearly ゼビウス ("zebiusu"), but if "devious" is pronounced "dee-vee-us" in English then "zee-vee-us" seems reasonable. The description of the TV commercial strongly implies that indeed that was how it was pronounced. -- Paul Richter 08:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
