Loved the original. Might have to play it with MAME

This was one of my favorite games as a kid. I must admit, I'm P S Y C H E D !

'But after all that time, Super Zaxxon and an actual board game were the only official additions to the franchise.'

That isn't quite right. In the '90s Sega released a sequel to Zaxxon for the 32x Called Zaxxon: Motherbase, which was a pretty neat game for a pretty neat machine. I still have a cardrige somewhere. This new Zaxxon looks very nice, though 🙂

Reboots aren't necessarily bad if they remain faithful to the original and are good quality games or movies.

The problem with reboots these days are the next-genification...

Sweet. I remember playing it on my Dads Intelevision. I hope this will run on my phone.

I used to play this on my atari 2600. I absolutely hated it, yet was compulsively drawn to it via it's hypnotic sound effects, ever increasing tension, and the desire to see what new bad guys lay beyond. A sort of masochistic need to see what happens next. Fuck you zaxxon.

The Colecovision and SG1000 ports were pretty good IIRC.
