Zaxxon is an iconic arcade video game developed and released by Sega in 1982. In this game, players pilot a ship through heavily defended space fortresses. Interestingly, the Japanese electronics company Ikegami Tsushinki also contributed to the game’s development.
Here are some key details about Zaxxon:
Gameplay: The objective is to hit as many targets as possible without being shot down or running out of fuel. Yes, you read that right—fuel can be replenished by blowing up fuel drums! The game features an isometric three-quarters perspective, a unique concept for arcade games at the time. Players fly through two fortresses, with an outer space segment between them. At the end of the second fortress awaits the formidable Zaxxon robot.
Firsts and Achievements:
Axonometric Projection: Zaxxon was the first game to use axonometric projection, specifically isometric projection, simulating three dimensions from a third-person viewpoint.
TV Advertising: It was also the first arcade game to be advertised on television, with a commercial produced by Paramount Pictures for a whopping $150,000.
Critical and Commercial Success: Zaxxon became one of the top five highest-grossing arcade games of 1982 in the United States.
Ports: Beyond the arcade, Zaxxon was ported to various platforms, including the Apple II, Atari 8-bit family, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, MSX, ZX Spectrum, and more.
So, hop into your virtual fighter craft, dodge enemy fire, and blow up those fuel drums—it’s time to conquer the Zaxxon fortress! 🚀🎮
