I still think that Zaxxon was the coolest video game of it's time.

Was that the shooter that was kinda sorta 3D? Had lots of shadow effects? I was a Tempest man myself. If I am ever successful enough to plunk down the money, I will own a Tempest machine. My hands start to get all sweety when I think of that big white ball... :-x

:-( I miss Atari. I actually rember some of the flak over this game, I think it might have been the first time I heard the term Game violence used in a bad way.

This game still looks like it would have played better than "Porkey's" for the Atari2600 or even "Friday the 13th" for NES. It is a shame that I missed this title back in the "dot smash dot" era.
