Exile is a computer game for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, and related 8 bit Acorn computers. It was released in 1988 by Superior Software. It was considered at the time to be cutting edge and pushed the boundaries of what was possible on 8-bit platforms. It remains probably the most complex game available for the BBC Micro. Exile's content qualifies it to be the first game to have a complete physics engine.

The Exile is a collaborative comic where artists take turns telling a story comic. The idea is to think on ones feet and stretch ones style and try new things but still keep within a defined story.

Full details of the Exile's adventures in the Outer Rim are unknown, but it is known that Atris had orchestrated the Exile's return to known space. In order to trick the Sith into revealing themselves, she leaked her return to the galaxy and, predictably, attracted the attention of the Sith triumvirate.

Exile has a long tradition as a form of punishment. It has been known in Ancient Rome, where the Roman Senate had the power to exile individuals, entire families or countries (which amounted to a declaration of war).

In 1976 Exile met Mike Chapman, an Australian who had established himself as a record producer in England. He had come to the United States to find an experienced group who wrote their own material. Chapman heard a demo and went to Exile's next show. The first Exile/Chapman collaboration contained the "magic ingredient" required for success. This combination produced the Mixed Emotions album on Warner/Curb, the source of "Kiss You All Over," which remained on the pop music charts for 23 weeks, holding the No. 1 spot for a solid month. "Kiss You All Over" broke onto the charts in July 1978, but didn't reach the top until September.

Exile was used particularly for political opponents of those in power. The use of exile for political purposes can sometimes be useful for the government because it prevents the exilee from organizing in their native land or from becoming a martyr. People feared exile and banishment so much because it effectively meant that they were going to die. In European history, at a time prior to Roman invasion, people lived completely co-dependently in farm towns where everyone had a function. Exile represented a severe punishment, particularly for those, like Ovid or Du Fu, exiled to strange or backward regions, cut off from all of the possibilities of life as well as their families and associates. Dante describes the pain of exile in The Divine Comedy:
