Zaxxon

Strap yourself in to a space-age jetfighter and get ready for a tough flight. Praised for its innovative 3D presentation when it was released in arcades in 1982, Zaxxon requires players to fly across an enemy base, blowing up gun turrets, fuel depots, and enemy fighters...all while dodging guided missiles and other hazards. Make it to the end and you'll meet the evil robot Zaxxon himself. Here is what I'm playing these days --Retro Arcade game on this website called Gametap. Very Cool. I first played this when I was at the U-Dub back from 1980-1984. Zaxxon was the king of the arcade games at that time and it is still pretty challenging. Save up your quarters and play.
