Amiga 1200 - Games Done Quick - Exile

Exile, original game developed by Jeremy Smith and Peter Irvin, published by Superior Software in 1988. Original Amiga conversion published by Audiogenic in 1991. A1200/CD32 AGA remake released in 1995 published by Audiogenic.

Returning from yet another special mission, your thoughts are of a quiet life back on Planet Earth. Suddenly, your ship picks up a mayday signal from the nearby planet of Phoebus. It appears that a deranged genetic engineer known as Triax was exiled to Phoebus many decades ago, and now he has somehow built up a new lab, kidnapped a colonization party and begun his evil experiments again. You decide to land on Phoebus, rescue the surviving crew, and thwart Triax's mutant monsters.

EXILE is the first of a new breed of true arcade adventure games, a virtual world with a true simulation of Newtonian mechanics gravity, inertia, momentum and buoyancy - all give a convincing representation of free motion as you explore a vast labyrinth of underground tunnels and caves in your mission to rescue the two kidnapped spacemen... EXILE features dozens of intelligent creatures to fight against or co-operate with, countless puzzles to solve, pass-keys to collect, teleports to control, weapons to master and objects to manipulate. It will probably take you many months to complete the entire mission - even the game's creators take over SIX HOURS to finish their own game!

Amiga longplay of the updated AGA release. Whilst no crew are rescued, the game is won with minimal score. Stopping Triax isn't quite as easy as the C64 game but after some waiting around and blocking, Triax does beam out after a minute.
