Capcom Classics Collection Revisits #5
Exed Exes is a dumb name. You executed the executables? Yeah, that's why they're called executables you stupid game. Idiot.
Notably this was released here in NA as "Savage Bees" apparently, it's still called Exed Exes most of the time I believe. A shame because I think Savage Bees is a better title.
Playing another very early Capcom shmup after 1942 feels a bit shitty, but at least it really goes to show how not having some asshat blowing a whistle at you can improve your enjoyment. Exed Exes definitely mixes it up a bit better than 1942 with it's enemy and boss variety, though this game still likes to throw a bunch of giant evil capital "H"s at you and some flying conjoined crosses. I kinda like the weird cyber beehive aesthetic of the game, but unfortunately it does get a bit boring after a bit despite being able to continue indefinitely as long as your pocket change remains intact. I recall playing this game for like an hour when I first tried it as a kid on CCC Vol. 1, and was wondering "goddamn when does this fucking game end?!", because iirc the rewards did demand a certain score to be reached or to beat the last Exes boss or something.
Not bad at all, just a bit before even my time. Much more willing to be nice to this game than 1942, fuck that guy.
