Exidy was one of the largest creators of arcade video games during the early period of video games, from 1975-1983. It was most famous for its lightgun 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 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.Template:Corp-stub
