Zaxxon - 15150 pts

Super Zaxxon - 9200 pts

 

I'm starting to get a feel of these two games, but not spending enough time to produce any competitive scores.

 

Yes I've played both most days for a few goes and it helps, learn a safe route and stick to it.

Zaxxon 63,150

Super Z 60,450 69,500 now I'm getting 3x1000s for the dragon on some goes, can he be destoyed?

I've found that you need to be pretty high (around one line below the top of the altitude gauge) to hit the dragon before he shoots his fireball. If you're at the right height, he seems to "jerk" when he's hit. Hit him 3 times, he disappears, and you get 1000 points. I think there are actually 3 dragons that you can destroy (same as what happens in the arcade version), one after another, which explains the 3x1000s you're seeing. 

 

I've made some improvement, but still nowhere near TRBB's scores. ?

 

Regular ol' Zaxxon: 36,000

After being away on vacation I played a lot more Mario Kart with my kids than Atari during the holidays....just realized that I missed quite a number of rounds.

 

Zaxxon a measly 6350, always got caught at the space stage.

Super Zaxxon 3250.

Zaxx off :-D OK guys I did have a couple more goes on Zaxxon this morning so which is better? I think Zaxxon takes it, more difficult but has the learning curve and is challenging. I was looking forward to a shoot out but was working away the 2nd week so didn't get chance to battle it out with RT on Zaxxon again, next time... Anyway this is not all about me WHAT?!!! So thanks for playing everyone and congratulations to graywest for 2nd place on the podium and RedThunder took 3rd place :thumbsup:

Zaxxon. One of my favourite games. Top five for me on any platform. Dont like the space sections that much, but the trench section I could fly along all day. So quick and smooth.

 

Super Zaxxon, slow and muddy as Carlson has said....should be reported to Trading Standards with super in the title.

 

Zaxxon will always be the winner.

 

Might fire a MAME version see what the arcade version was like.

 

Great round, wish I could of got a bit more time Zaxxon.

 

RT

PS Where are your coloured in Zaxxon posters guys ;)  MS Paint still rocks you know :)

A very quick video I slung together.

 

Features a later level and a brief glimpse of the sudden speed increase after the Zaxxon kill.

 

Top Tip.

Dont forget the fuel, actully just keep hitting the fuel and nothing else later in the game.

 

Make a note of the brick courses in the wall then adjust with the height bar on the left hand side. It does become instictive after a while ?
