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. ?

slx Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 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.

+therealbountybob Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Zaxx off 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?!!!

carlsson Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Super Zaxxon to me looks overworked, muddy graphics, hard to determine your position, slower. Not very super at all. I would probably enjoy a TRBB Zaxxon more. 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/310170-hsc17-round-16-zaxxon-vs-super-zaxxon/page/2/#findComment-4620255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedThunder Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 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.

RedThunder Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) 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 ?
