About this game

Exerion II: Zorni is an arcade shooter sequel to Exerion, developed by Jaleco and published by Eaglesoft for Microsoft MSX and MSX.

The ship uses simulated inertia for movement, while parallax effects add depth to the background. Players face dozens of enemies and can switch between two weapon systems: a slower double-shot cannon and a faster single-shot cannon.

Hitting enemies with the slow cannon adds ammunition to the fast cannon. A challenge stage follows each regular stage, giving players an opportunity to build up their fast-shot supply.
