	Games - Exidy

Exidy was one of the largest creators of arcade video games during the early period of video games, from 1975-1983.

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 characters walking through the screen by shooting down bullets and other things which are trying to kill the characters. These games were also the first to feature fully digitized sound, for all sound effects 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."
