+FarmerPotato Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 In a SF book written long ago, a fighter pilot used radio call sign zee-queue-ex-one, or ZQX-1. I think it sounds like Zaxxon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the demo with version F18A v1.9 and the sprites are large and blocky, the screen is mostly scrambled. Has anybody else tried with v1.9. BTW, it does the same thing on Classic99.

Hmm, I thought I fixed that before the last version. Anyway, here's the latest version. I have just tested that it works on 1.9 firmware. Classic99 doesn't have enough F18A support to run the demo. zaxxon8.bin 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+9640News Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I tried it last night. Does the fire button work? I'm using a set of free joysticks I picked up a couple of years ago and this was the first time they were plugged in. Haven't tried any other program yet to test the fire button.

Yep, that would be people like me. See it, download it, then wait a long time before loading it up and playing. Oh well, my time is eat up by so many projects going on.
