Hey... Well I can't say that I ever played this game before (I'm only 14...) But I do have a game for the Genesis almost exactly like it. Or at least had. It was by some company called Sammy, but I forget the name of the game. It's gone now, sold along with Animaniacs... Crap. Why'd I sell those games!? I only got like 5 bucks, and only because I sold an N64 game at the same time... Ok, I'm gonna stop rambling.

I think this is now officially the smallest downloadable game abandonia has to offer. This calls for a celebration, methinks. :party: :band: :cheers:

EDIT: Whoops, way off. Make that third smallest. ^_^ Under PC-MAN and Paratrooper.

Well, all the games that are in the Crypt together only take up 2.9Mb! So this one isn't the smallest... Then there are text based adventures, of which some also take up very little space :whistle:

But these games keep on proving that size isn't everything. Give me the 3Mb of the Cript over 3Gb of a single new game anytime :D

Zaxxon is one of the important ancestors of the modern PC gaming flightstick I think.

It's not that hard. I remember clearing level after level on this. The trick is that you have to position yourself at the exact position in front of the house. I don't remember exactly but it's something like all the way to the right and 5 keyboard clicks from the bottom. In that case you always hit the rocket, on every level.

Brings back memories... One of my first favorites. :)

AH THE MEMORIES!!
:angel:


I remember playing this on my dad's home-made pirated Sinclair Spectrum ZX, back in USSR :tomato:

Hell, 1/3 of "the crypt" genres were also on Sinclair :Titan:

I loved this game growing up on the C64. But I have download this and can not figure out the controls which means I cannot play the darn thing on my computer. :sos: Time to dust off the C64 and TRS-80

When I saw the name of this game, I could not help thinking about this:

Ok...so that's "Zaxon" and the game is "Zaxxon". Even so ;)
