Intellivision HSC Season 14 - Game 7 - Zaxxon / Carnival Bonus


Recommended Posts

OK Carnival is tolerable without music though I have to say I like the 2600 version better. Not sure why but I prefer it. Zaxxon is just bad even if you called it Fly n Kill by Zorphon Inc. I can usually tolerate bad ports by just thinking about them as a different game but ... not good. Not good.

 

Zaxxon - 26,600

Carnival - 5,230

27,400 - skill 1

 

Personally, I enjoy when stuff starts shooting at you without any indication what height it's at. 

 

"From Coleco - We don't care, why should you?" 

 

Pretty sure that was the marketing line they went with, right? I seem to recall it replaced "From Coleco - Screw you!"

 

Whether ranked by enjoyment factor, graphics, or simply alphabetically, this is the last game you should play.

@BiffManomg ... that’s hilarious! I swear.... last night, my Zaxxon game ended because a purple fuel-barrel shot a bullet and killed my plane! Insane! 

 

How about when you make a direct hit, but there’s a lag and you just smash into the enemy anyway! LOL ? 
 

@Rickster8 judging between sewer sam and Zaxxon for worst game ... pretty close LOL ? but you guys MUST have Empire in the discussion ? ? shoot an AT-AT a dozen times, and get to the next challenge... which is hitting an AT-AT a dozen times. Followed by the Boss Screen: Shooting an AT-AT a dozen times! Then the pattern Re-starts from the beginning. HOLEE LOL ? ?

I fkin HATE it when they show you a bunch of sh*t to shoot at but you cannot get there in time to line them up because you are currently going thru a hole in the wall.... When you FINALLY go thru the hole those three targets are already past you.... ?

 

And more than anything I hate that fkin orange ship. That thing is a total nuisance...... That thing can single-handedly ruin a great run.... ?
