Exzisus

About

Exzisus is a fast paced arcade shooter from 1987 that tasks players with blasting through waves of enemies. The gameplay focuses on quick reflexes and precise aiming as you navigate scrolling levels filled with aircraft and enemy formations. It supports two players teaming up in split screen for co op chaos or competing head to head. Controls are simple but require tight coordination to survive later stages. This title stands out for its straightforward action and multiplayer flexibility which was uncommon for the time. While Taito was releasing dozens of games in 1987 Exzisus carved a niche with its direct approach to combat. The split screen mode in particular earned attention as early examples often struggled with technical limitations. It remains a solid choice for fans of classic shoot em ups that prioritize speed and replayability.
