A question for fellow Compile shmup fans...

Compile did the MSX2 Xevious, not the PCE version.

Did both.

Yup. Definitely Compile.

Mobygames say Namco developed both

What goes back to my 2005 quote:

There are lots of Compile games out there that doesn't show "Compile" in the title, so finding out what games they made is not that simple sometimes.

It has been said that they were responsible for the SMS version of R-Type (Sega), the MSX version of Thexder(Game Arts), Gulkave(Sega), Pnickles(Capcom), and that in many of those games you would only find info about them if you hex edit the code.

Mobygames say Namco developed both

Their "developed by" credit says Namco for both, but the actual credits list Compile staff. Check the names in the credits I linked. The names in the credits for both games include such notable names as Moo Niitani and Jemini Hirono. I'm familiar with that 2005 quote, BTW.

I know, I just wanted to point out how sometimes it's hard to find what games are made by Compile. Mobygames say it's developed by Namco when it's obviously developed by Compile when you look at the credits.... but the Compile logo doesn't show up anywhere in the game!
