Exed Exes

About

Exed Exes is a straightforward vertical shooter where you pilot a ship through waves of insectoid enemies. You steer left or right to dodge attacks and blast enemies while the screen scrolls forward. Scattered POW icons offer temporary boosts or turn foes into fruit, which net extra points when destroyed. The game supports solo play or two-player co-op, letting partners split screens to take down the Exes’ forces. The game’s co-op mode was notable for its era, encouraging teamwork without complex mechanics. Its simple but effective power-up system and quirky enemy designs earned it a niche reputation among retro shooter fans. While not a technical standout, it remains a solid example of early 80s arcade action, with a cult following that appreciates its direct gameplay.
