Spent some time this morning giving all the Exidy multi games a good try in MAME. Here's my thoughts:
Catch-22 B (basically a copy of Combat, what is the difference?)
Cheyenne D
Chiller C (sure the torture chamber is great, but overall? "eh" at best)
Clay Pigeon B (sure didn't go overboard on the audio; "pull")
Combat B
Crackshot C
Crossbow D
Hit 'n Miss C
Who Dunit ?
I need to give Who Dunit more of a try. Didn't figure much out there. Any feedback on Who Dunit appreciated, as I have that as a dedicated game (with the pistol) and I think I might be looking at selling that soon.
To be honest, none of the games grabbed me enough to want to keep my Exidy multi. Might be up for sale soon. And before anyone even hints otherwise, this is not a knock on Dave Widel & Mike Doyle (who made the Exidy Multi). They did a fantastic job and I appreciate their efforts.
Are the games on the original Exidy multi the same as the remake Exidy multi? I asked that when the remake came out and neither Dave or Mike (or anyone else) ever answered.
Probably looking at selling my Chiller too. Bummer as I spent a long time trying to find one.
One other thought, those were the ratings playing them in MAME. I played several of the games at Troy's house on a real cabinet and they were MUCH harder without the crosshair that MAME gives you. Enough that they weren't much fun. I think my grades when played on a real game would all be lower.
So, anyone else give them all a good try? What are your grades at them?
