Targ is a maze shoot 'em up developed by Exidy and released as an arcade video game in 1980. It depicts vehicular combat in a future world. It was released in North America by Exidy in June 1980 and in Japan by Sega in July.[1]
It was listed by Play Meter as one of only two maze games among the top 20 highest-grossing arcade video games of 1980, which was dominated by space shoot 'em ups.[2] Its success prompted Exidy to release Spectar, a sequel with improved graphics, in July 1980.[3] A port of Targ was developed for the Atari 2600 by CBS Games, but never released.[4]
