Description

"Exocet" is a lesser-known title for the Atari 2600 console, developed and published by Panda Software in 1983. The game places players in control of an unmanned underwater vehicle tasked with navigating through a series of treacherous oceans filled with enemy submarines, floating mines, and deep-sea creatures. The primary objective is to survive the onslaught and achieve the highest possible score by destroying enemy units using torpedoes while avoiding collisions with underwater obstacles. The game features horizontal scrolling gameplay, and the difficulty increases as the player progresses, introducing faster and more aggressive adversaries.

Notably, "Exocet" gained its name from the French anti-ship missile, keeping in line with its marine warfare theme. Despite its relatively obscure status, the game is recognized among Atari 2600 enthusiasts for its challenging gameplay and adherence to the classic shoot-'em-up genre hallmark of the era. Graphically, the game is typical of the Atari 2600’s capabilities, with simplistic sprites and a straightforward color palette, focusing more on gameplay mechanics rather than detailed visuals. Its release during the waning days of the Atari 2600's popularity meant that it didn't achieve widespread acclaim but retained a niche appreciation among collectors and retro gaming fans.
