Exidy




Some of the notable games released by Exidy included '' Star Fire '', '' Venture '', '' Pepper II '', and '' Mouse Trap ''. ''Star Fire'' was prominently featured in the 1980 film '' Midnight Madness '', while ''Mouse Trap'' was the subject of a song on the 1982 '' Pac-Man Fever '' album.

Exidy was most famous for its Light Gun games, beginning with the game '' Crossbow ''. These presented an unusual twist to the Genre , where the goal is to protect Character s walking through the screen by shooting down Bullet s and other things which are trying to kill the characters. These games were also the first to feature fully Digitized Sound , for all Sound Effect s and for Music (far more advanced than any other games up until the 16-bit Generation ). The most (in)famous game today from this series is the game '' Chiller ''.

Exidy also made a brief foray into the Home Computer market, with the '' Exidy Sorcerer ''.

The name "Exidy" was a portmanteau of the words "Excellence in Dynamics."
