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.

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.
 
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.
 
Ew. That game sucks donkey balls.

Looks good, have fun with it.

Yeh, have fun with it. (never understood the hate for Zaxxon ... not like gettin' hit in the nuts ... LOL)

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.
