Oops I got a Zaxxon

[BulkOfTheSeries]

heh. I was headed out of town for a vacation and heard there was a Zaxxon on CL but nobody was getting any response from the listing.

The night before I left, just as I was going to bed I emailed him this:

"can pickup tomorrow."

He called me in the morning and, well, shit, I had to go get it.

Here it is, in all it's glory. Not sure if I'll keep it or not.

the first step is admitting the problem.

I like this game!

 

[VectorCollector]

I'm making a kit for this game! It's awesome and so am I.

Troof. ....

I actually brought one back from the dead. It isn't a bad game - one of the first vertical scroll shooters.

The power brick is easy to fix. I put a guide up on what goes where on the board here on the forum somewhere.

This thread title made me laugh.

Awesome! Great pickup [emoji3][emoji1303]

I did an "oops I bought a Neo Geo" once. Didn't really want it but threw a lowball out and they called me back two weeks later and took it. A Zaxxon would have been way cooler.

I like zaxxon. I don't see your location if you decide to dump it.

If you check his VAPS, you'll see he's in Alaska (Anchorage). Still want the game? LOL

Delaware to Alaska for a Zaxxon ... that would have to be some kind of KLOV record

Looks good, have fun with it.

I forget you can find that on there.

I don't like it that much!

 

[ElectricDreamz]

sure, but that would have to be some kind of KLOV record though

we need a leaderboard where we can track who's made the longest verifiable trips for a purchase lol

I don't like it that much!

 

[CoinOpCurtis]

I'm guessing we would all be surprised on the lengths we go for a game we want!! Longest yet is a 12 hour round trip for Pole Position and Pole Position 2.

The game everyone remembers "OOOOhhh Zaxxon!" and nobody wants to play. I paid $200 for mine with a monitor that looks brand new and the seller threw in a repro CPO.

I put a high score kit in mine and play it all the time. It's pretty frigging hard, but I remember seeing it for the first time when it was new and being awestruck.

it was real popular back in the day but no one much likes it nowadays. I would take one because it's still an ok shooter and like you said it has name recognition

zaxxon is not that hard but try super zaxxon its unplayable

i just picked up a gutted zaxxon still on the fence on what to do with it.
