Title: High Score Competition #221: Super Zaxxon
Post by: jasonbar on July 03, 2017, 10:42:32 pm: High Score Competition Rules and Scoreboard (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,143138.0.html)

What's superer (and way harderer) than Zaxxon? Super Zaxxon. Doy.

"You pilot an attack shuttle whose mission is to strafe the enemy's "Asteroid City". Destroy fuel tanks, gun implacements, missiles, fighters and a large dragon. The game uses the same isometric perspective as the original, but the new version's overall speed is much faster."
