'''Exzisus''' (エクスザイサス, lit. ''Ekusuzaisasu''), is a horizontal scrolling [[shooter]] arcade game, that was released by [[Taito Corporation]] in [[1987]], only in Japan; it utilizes four Zilog Z80s (three at 6 MHz and one at 4 MHz) with a Yamaha YM-2151 running at 4 MHz for audio. The player must use an 8-way joystick, to take control of a space astronaut (who is the eponymous "Exzisus"), with two buttons to make him fire shots at (and, drop missiles on) enemies, and launch his bird- and dog-like robots at them - and there are also several different powerups that he can collect to aid him in his mission: '''L''' (Laser Light Blaster), '''D''' (Disruption or Destruction depending upon the palette), '''M''' (Missile), '''F''' (Full Automatic), '''A''' (Aerodynamic Power), '''O''' (Option), and, in some versions of the title, '''B''' (Barrier). The fifth of these will also transform Exzisus into a [[Darius]]-like turbo jet when collected and provide him with protection from death (for one hit); when hit, he shall return back to his regular humanoid form.

The player must use an 8-way joystick to take control of a space astronaut (who is the eponymous "Exzisus"), with two buttons to make him fire shots (and drop bombs) on enemies - and there are three different powerups he can collect: '''F''' (Full Automatic) which allows him to fire a "blaster" when both of the buttons are pressed simultaneously, '''A''' (Aerodynamic Power), which will transform him into a turbo jet (which resembles the players' ships from Taito's own [[Darius]]), and '''B''' (Barrier), which shall allow him to withstand four enemy hits before dying. There are a total of four stages in the game and they will repeat once you clear that last one; however, it uses the text of "LET'S GO NEXT WORLD", so it does not seem so.
