Title: Exerion.

Any other fans of this game?
The version I have plays well but the game resets itself when you die after the first challenge stage (MAME version on Pandora's box 5).


I can still loop it on one man ;)

It's not a bad game.  It was in the FS tourney awhile back.

I don't like the controls feeling like you are moving around in water but I guess that's supposed to simulate some gravitational effect in the game.  I like the risk/reward system for not missing shots though.

I love the game.  The controls feel weird at first, but you soon get into the groove.  My high score is 804K on the machine at funspot.  Last couple of years the sound is not working, which is a shame.

On MAME the buttons don't feel right so I swap. Them.

Definitely risk/reward game.  Accuracy counts!

Thats a mame bug its fixed in older and later versions. :D
I got a good score on this one a long while ago. Its a weird feeling but if you can get into the groove and miss when you need to you can REALLY rack up points. Getting 800k on stage 1 is possible.

I got 800k on this game when I was 14 years old.
