Exidy
Exidy was one of the largest creators of arcade video games during the early period of video games, from 1974 until at least 1986 (when Chiller was released ). The company was founded by H.R. "Pete" Kauffman. The name "Exidy" was a portmanteau of the words "Excellence in Dynamics."
Notable games released by Exidy include Circus, Death Race, Star Fire, Venture, Pepper II, Mouse Trap, Targ and Spectar.
Game history
Exidy found competing with larger video game companies such as Atari Inc. difficult. The company's Lila Zinter claimed in 1983 that "Exidy is an innovator, but ... we have a hard time breaking through the politics of getting a game a fair chance."
One of Exidy's efforts aimed at trivia lovers during the 1980s was the quiz game Fax, a multi-level game housed in a large wooden cabinet that stood about 4 feet high and looked nothing like other video games of the time period. Much like the 2000s game show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, players were shown a series of questions with four possible answers. A point value "clock" ran down to zero after answers were shown, meaning players answering quicker earned more points for their correct answers. (Incorrect answers incurred no penalty.)

I'll Be There
by: AugustGod forbid
But if the heavens ever come crashin' down
I will shoulder the way
Yeah...
And you can count on me to help you out when there's too much on your plate
Yeah...
Your crosses are bare
Don't worry, I'll be there
(Yes, I will be there...)
Yeah...
And God forbid, know
If there's not enough hours in a day, for you
Then I will stop time
And if all your dreams fall to pieces
I'll give you mine
At the drop of a dime
Yeah, you know I'll be there
(Yes, I will be there...)
So I need you to understand...
When push comes to shove
And you're best ain't enough
I'll be there...
I will be there
Oh...
And if it's right or it's die
I'll be right by your side
I'll be there...
I will be there...
Now God forbid
If you somehow lose your way
I'll help you start again...
And if someone breaks your spirit
I will lend you my heart, my friend
Right 'til the very end
Yeah, you know I'll be there
(Yes, I will be there...)
Oh! And God forbid
That the waters get too heavy
I will help you, safe to shore
Baby, with all you've got is givin'
I'll be here to give you more
Just knock on my door
I will be there...
(Yes, I will be there...)
Now all you need to understand (is)...
When push comes to shove
And you're best ain't enough
I'll be there...
I will be there...
Oh...
And if it's right or it's die
I'll be right by your side
I'll be there...
I will be there...
Now when the rain is fallin' in heaven
And the world is ragin' war
See, I've got your back
To always and back
And you're back (??)
Not more than my own
I will be there...
When push comes to shove
And you're best ain't enough
I'll be there...
I will be there
Oh...
And if it's ride or it's die
I'll be right by your side
I'll be there...
I will be there...
(Yes, I will be there...)
You know
You know
You know
I will be there...
I will be there...
And if it's right or it's die
I'll be right by your side
I'll be there...
I will be there...
