About Exocet

In Exocet, you first pilot a spacecraft over the surface, shooting the defense towers in your path. The larger towers are too large to fly around, and they must be hit at the point where they fire. When you have traveled a particular distance, you will find an opening to the underground passage. There you continue to destroy the various things flying around. Also sold under the name "Cruise Missile" by Froggo Games.

Atari 2600 prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A multi-label missile game where the Exocet name, not the game, sets the price.

Exocet is a 1983 game that, like many European and Asian 2600 releases, was sold by several publishers under different names: Cruise Missile, Space Eagle, Exoset Missile and Radar. Little else is documented about it.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 2 No. 11February 1984Graphics ★ · Play-Action ★

“EXOCET looks like something from the dark ages of video games. Graphics are blocky and primitive, and game play is totally unimaginative.”

— Computer Entertainer, February 1984

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.

Before you buy

Check which label you are looking at. The Exocet label sells for the most; Cruise Missile and Radar are the same game for less. Because the game is the same, the label is what you are paying for, so ask for close photos of it and of the end label and make sure they match the listing title. No fakes are documented. Confirm whether a copy is NTSC or PAL.
