Exile, called Exile: Toki no Hazama he (エグザイル 時の狭間へ) in Japan, is a 1991 RPG by Telenet Japan released on the Sega Mega Drive. Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT called "XZR" in Japan; where this false name came from is unknown. Furthermore, the game may not have originated on the Mega Drive, it may have been ported to other platforms, and it may also actually be a sequel to an earlier game (which may have been called XZR). The exact situation with this game is unknown.

Over the course of human history, one country managed to conquer the world through war — only to be destroyed by the desert warrior Sadler. Peace did not last long: Sadler waged a brutal war with Luciel, a rival tribe.

You play as Sadler; he will be followed by various party members who join you while meeting them in towns. Controls are typical for RPGs:

  • Menu: A and C opens the main menu. B makes selections. When in a menu, C closes the current menu and A closes all menus.
  • Towns, The Desert, possibly other areas: Merely touch a person to talk to him. When you enter a doorway, rather than go inside the building, you automatically talk to whoever's inside; when in a shop, A or C to stop shopping and leave.
  • Map Screen: You get here in between other areas. Simply use the D-pad to navigate and hit B to make a selection.
  • Battles: These take place in side-scrolling areas found in the Desert and possibly other overworlds. A opens the menu, B attacks with the currently equipped weapon, and C jumps.
