The (Zaxxon 3) levels are themed with polygonized versions of fish, insects, tanks and "slinky" springs all of which must be avoided or destroyed.
The player (attack shuttle) must follow the diagonally scrolling screen, avoiding assorted enemies and mechanical contraptions to reach the end-level guardian (the Zaxxon) which must be destroyed. The main weapon is a pulse laser which can be charged up for increased damage. Only a pair of drones can be collected as power-ups. Three types of bomb are available: a fire-wall, homing missiles and a nuclear bomb. The vendor can configure the game for either simultaneous or alternate two-player games. Alternate mode also affects one-player games by introducing restart points when the craft is destroyed. (i.e., Zaxxon 3)

I'll kick it off with what I am sure is an unremarkable 32,800, making me just a little better than Wednesday, but not nearly good enough to catch that expert Tuesday. My goal for the next game is to actually use a bomb instead of hoarding them...
