Rogerpoco Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 25,500 on the Zaxxon Beat the big robot dude a couple times, I still lost men not knowing the pattern of the laser gates(about to get it), which are NOT that intuitive. Honestly-I personally don't particularly like this game, but I think the people hung up about it are just not happy that it isn't really Zaxxon-it's still not a terrible game, in and of itself, it's just certainly not "good". 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that Coleco's marketing tag line for their Intellivision games? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 OMG I broke the poor game (Zaxxon) that is, forgot to take a pic... I hit the end of level robot the second it appeared on screen it took 1 hit and immediately disappeared.. however the game didn't progress and after about 20-30 seconds the missle came from the absolute top right corner of the screen after the ship. With no bot on screen to destroy had no choice but to die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it a few times.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same unpopular opinion about Atari 2600's Pac-Man. If you don't go into it expecting Arcade Pac-Man and just play for what it is the game's not so bad really. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) My first Zaxxon entry. It sure is an ugly game but I agree with Rick that it’s better than the other Coleco games on the system. 20,300 Edited March 13, 2021 by IntyFanMatt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cparsley Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 See I was alive when Coleco released their shite, and still don't let them get over purposedly doing shite on the INTV. We kept our original INTV 1 even though we had a perfectly good INTV 2 that was normally used just cause my father for some stupid reason wanted to play Donkey Kong (which DOES NOT WORK) on an INTV 2. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 That big F says it all. 17,200 I mean, I've played worse. And at least it has the altitude bit of Zaxxon. Paraphrasing what @Rogerpoco has said many times before- I guess it's a game. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 When the first thing you do is hit the music note to shut that shit off, you know you have a winner. 3,840 Well below my high the other season, but I can't see myself playing much more of this. Don't remember if my last game was better, but you know, touched the damn controller, so goodbye score. Again, Coleco just does everything they can to get you to play it on their own system instead. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
