I kind of like Zaxxon
But serious question, what tweaks could be done to Zaxxon to make it better? Maybe a crosshair of some sort projected onto the ground stages making it easier to see your level?
Super Zaxxon I would slow down to play only slightly faster than the original game, instead of cranking it up to 11.
Maybe make the game longer than 2 levels? I love the concept of infiltrating a space castle as a fighter jet. In what world is that not cool!! Just wish they'd really milked the idea.
+1 with Mylz, there are only two levels. Asteroid / space / asteroid with Zaxxon robot is one level. Level two just repeats forever with the little notch in the first asteroid wall changing slightly. Great game, but would have benefited from more levels and some fine tuning on the space dogfight sequences.It isn't 4 levels? First run, space, second run, robot is what I am counting as different stages.
All the great space games only have a few levels like Star Wars for instance only has 3+1 with Mylz, there are only two levels. Asteroid / space / asteroid with Zaxxon robot is one level. Level two just repeats forever with the little notch in the first asteroid wall changing slightly. Great game, but would have benefited from more levels and some fine tuning on the space dogfight sequences.
Star Wars and Asteroids both have infinite levels.All the great space games only have a few levels like Star Wars for instance only has 3
And poor asteroids only has one
Zaxxon has infinite levels as well then space and city. I get bored and leave on asteroids all the time it's one level over and over again. Nothing against asteroids I love it but it's one level. Same with Star Wars the same three levels over and over again but again a great game.Star Wars and Asteroids both have infinite levels.
A level in Star Wars is dogfight / towers / trench.
A level in Asteroids is over when the rocks are wiped out.
In Zaxxon, the second asteroid (level) doesn't change. It's like Moon Patrol, there are only two levels. If you clear the second level, it repeats until you get bored and leave.
And when one of us did conquer a game and spend 15 to 30 minutes on a quarter playing, you'd have a crowd watching you and cheering you on sometimes.Not a whole lot of depth in most games prior to the late '80s really.
It's just what it was.
Nobody wanted us standing in fron the cabinet for more than 3 min/quarter as it was so what else could be expected?
Close....the only Zaxxon I ever owned I bought for $75, five miles from my house.As much as people hate on Zaxxon, I should be able to find one for $20. I need one for my home and another one for my office at work![]()

Well that is certainly something I have never experienced!

Was going to question if there was an asteroid level in the game but realized they called the city "Asteroid City"In Zaxxon, the second asteroid (level) doesn't change. It's like Moon Patrol, there are only two levels. If you clear the second level, it repeats until you get bored and leave.
Lucky guy!Close....the only Zaxxon I ever owned I bought for $75, five miles from my house.
I never claimed I was that good.Well, he's an alpha, you see.
