The Zaxxon defence system must be destroyed in this isometric-viewed shoot 'em up which was originally hugely successful in the arcades. The game has 3 stages, first taking you through Asteroid City, which is heavily protected by aircraft, guns and missiles. Many barriers are alarmed, leaving you with limited space to progress through, and fire must constantly be dodged.
Stage two is a space shoot out against hordes of enemy aircraft - those you failed to destroy in the first part of the task. Complete this and you reach the final battle with Zaxxon, with the game looping with increased difficulty if you can survive the first time. There are 3 distinct skill levels, while controls involve using forward to dive and back to climb, in the manner of flight simulation.

Nice to see another Arcade game listed. I'm surprised we haven't gotten Galaga and the Pac-Mans announced yet.

Yay, go Zaxxon! Though I've never liked it THAT much. I just hate isometric view in just about any game.

It's a shame that Sega has forgotten the Zaxxon brand over the years. We need new Zaxxon games!

Roo said:
Just to add as it's easily forgotten: this is an (easy) unlockable on the 2006 PS2/PSP Mega Drive Collection. If you've got that, no need for this!

Whats with all the hate? This is a pretty decent game.
The price is pretty steep though. I wouldn't buy this game on the VC.
