Exerion is a vertical shoot 'em up released by Jaleco in 1983 and licensed to Taito for distribution in the United States. Screenshot from arcade version Exerion is a shoot 'em up game featuring parallax effects and inertia simulation, something notable for 1983. The player travels around strange scenarios shooting aliens. The player has two types of guns: fast single shot (limited) or slow double shot (unlimited). In 1984, along with the MSX1 port of the original, a sequel was released titled Exerion II: Zorni for the MSX1, with similar gameplay to the original. There were plans for an NES release of this game. In 1987, the game was followed by the semi-sequel titled Exerizer, also known as Sky Fox.

Not only is the parallax wasted here on ugly backgrounds, it's on the verge of being nauseating. Once you strip that away, this is a just a very mediocre schmup.
2/4 SMTDR
I'm sure the arcade version is much better, and there was clear work put into it, but the SG-1000 version at least is an assault on the senses, with its cacophony of noises and constant judder from the consoles lack of smooth scrolling making for a miserable version of what I assume to be an okay Space Invaders derivative. It tries its hardest but you'd be better off sticking to Galaga if I'm being honest.
okay so this game is one of many "this game was important for its time for some reason" games
but more importantly while I was playing this I made up the title of a game called "Doctor Beef Goes to the Dentist" and now I want to play it
I imagine it would be slightly better than this but not by much
anyway this game sucks

Estética guay, pero es un arcade de naves sin más.
