In fact, Exxos is not actually a company but a label created by Ere Informatique, which was only used for three games: Captain Blood (but not in the early editions), Purple Saturn Day and Kult ✨
ATA ATA HOGLO HULU !

I listened to some of Stéphane Picq's compositions today, including Kult and Extase, which are definitely among my favorites along with Dune.

What are yours? 🙂

A thought for Stéphane Picq, who passed away one year ago today 🙏

J'ai commencé à feuilleter le magazine. Il y a des tests de Tetris, Nebulus, Super Hang-On et plein d'autres jeux.
Et cette preview de Kult ! 🛸
Je remarque pas mal de différences avec la version finale du jeu.

I think Caza has captured the atmosphere of the game perfectly in this illustration!
You can see the hero in the bottom right facing the "God" Deilos, with flying saucers in the background.
Well, Deilos is less impressive in this screenshot 😁

I've finally received the Kult poster! And it's gorgeous 😍
(a crowdfunding add-on to the Philippe Caza artbook)
I've put the game box in a corner to give an idea of the poster's size.

Johan K. Robson (design), Patrick Dublanchet (code) and Michel Rho (gfx) each talk about their work on Kult.
We learn that a 200-page document was written and that the source code is 250 Kb! 💾

I found this 4-page article on Kult in the French magazine Atari! (May 1989)
You can see the sprites and also how the scenery elements were assembled 🧩

Cross-checking information from various sources, it seems that Kult was released in May 1989.
Prior to its release, it was named The Temple of Flying Saucers (which became the game's subtitle).
So, Kult celebrates its 35th anniversary this month! 🎂
