Chou Fuyuu Yousai Exed Exes (Japan)

In **Chou Fuyuu Yousai Exed Exes**, players pilot a futuristic spaceship engaged in a fierce battle against a colossal army of alien insects. This is a classic vertical scrolling shooter where the screen continuously moves upwards, and players must dodge obstacles while eliminating enemies flying from all directions.

The primary objective is to survive through stages filled with adversaries and collect power-up items. The controls are straightforward: move your ship with the directional pad and press the attack button to fire. What makes **Chou Fuyuu Yousai Exed Exes** engaging is the variety of power-ups available. When certain enemies are defeated, they drop lettered icons. For instance, you can pick up the P icon to enhance your firepower, making your shots stronger or increasing their spread. The S icon boosts your ship's movement speed, allowing for easier evasion. Additionally, there are other icons like B for a bomb, which can clear all enemies on screen, or L which provides a temporary protective shield.

Enemies in the game consist of various flying insects with different attack patterns and movements, ranging from small creatures flying in formations to larger, more resilient foes capable of returning fire. A unique aspect is that some enemies, when destroyed, drop small coins that players can collect for bonus points, encouraging the destruction of everything on screen. High scores were a significant goal in arcade games of that era.
