Atari 5200 HSC Round 28 *Zaxxon*

We will go a little rarer this round. The game is Zaxxon. I've never played the 5200 version, but I enjoy pretty much every other version of the game I've played.

 

So lets get flying and shooting to the high score this round. Darthkur has 2 wins in a row, who will stop the streak?

I've played the ColecoVision version of Zaxxon extensively but very little on the 5200. It's a bit different and a definite thumb cramper with the stock controller.

Did a bit better. I'm glad that the collision detection between the force fields and brick walls is much more forgiving than that of the arcade version. It's hard to tell exactly where your plane is positioned. Even with the gauge at the side.

great scores darth! are you using 5200 stock controllers on a 5200 system or emulation? not that it really matters but i was just curious. i really need to get back and play :-)

 

Thanks. I use the four port 5200 that I purchased back when it was new and the original controllers it came with. I have replaced the flex circuits with NOS Rev 9's but really do need to update to the gold dot ones soon.

 

Darthkur wins again!! congrats.

 

Much obliged.
