Synopsis

Crossbow is a light gun shooter released as an arcade video game by Exidy in 1983. It was later published by Absolute Entertainment for the Commodore 64 and MS-DOS, and by Atari Corporation for the Atari 2600, Atari 7800, and Atari 8-bit computers starting in 1987. The game is controlled via a positional gun that resembles a full-sized crossbow. Exidy promoted Crossbow to arcade operators as being convertible to new themes released in the future. Five themed conversion kits were created, each commencing with the letter 'c': Cheyenne, Combat, Crackshot, Clay Pigeon, and the controversial Chiller. Several more games were also released for the system: Hit 'n Miss, Showdown, Top Secret, and Who Dunnit.
