Crossbow is a classic light gun shooting game originally released in arcades by Exidy in 1983, and it was later ported to the Atari 7800 console. The game was a pioneer in the genre, featuring a medieval theme where players used a crossbow-shaped light gun to protect characters on the screen as they traversed various hazardous settings. Players must shoot enemies and obstacles to safeguard their friends on their journey to a fortress. With its unique gameplay and early use of a light gun, Crossbow was part of the evolution of shooting games in the early days of video gaming.
