Hey all!

I am personally excited to announce that we have confirmed that we will have the first-ever Exidy panel at this year's CAX show!

As of now, Larry Hutcherson (Venture, Mouse Trap, Pepper II, Hard Hat, Crossbow and all of the gun games, Teeter Torture), Nick Ilyin (Spectar, Targ), and Ken Nicholson (also worked on the gun games) will be on hand to discuss their days at Exidy.

They should all have some very fun and interesting stories to tell that will also give some important insights into arcade game history.

Exidy games were definitely often on the quirky side, but perhaps now more than ever they continue to garner much respect in the arcade gaming community.

So please do join us for what promises to be a very interesting panel!

See y'all at the show!

Jon (and the Extreme Team)
 
Was just reading about Exidy last night. Very interested in the story of those late vector games which may or may not have been produced.

Tell them to bring copies of the ROMs for Vertigo, Kreepy Krawlers and Snapper with them! Also ask them what the hell I need to do to get Teeter Torture working on a Venture board properly! :D
 
I can try to ask him.

Get this...it turns out that Mr. Hutcherson is practically my neighbor...he lives about 5 minutes from me :D .

I will take the exidy maxflex this year. I bought the mostly gutted one off CL from Ken Nicholson. We talked about a possible panel. Glad to see its happening with all three of them.
 
very cool and some great games in that portfolio!

I hope they release roms for a bunch of secret sequels that were never released (pepper 3!)
:rolleyes:

I'd rather have the prequel... Pepper. ;)

Actually, Larry told me the original name for PII was "Zippers."

But there was some sort of obscure copyright issue with that name so they had to change it...

I'm sure he can elaborate on this at the talk :) .

Are there any plans to video the panel and share it out after? I'd love to hear this but can't make it out unfortunately.

I cannot make it to the event, but could someone please ask them how many exidy vertigo motion cockpits were produced and if there is believed to be any left.. anywhere...

Thanks!
