I hung out with Peter when he was coding this game back in 1982 / 83. It was crazy to think that this self taught 18 year old kid was writing games out of a Las Vegas computer shop. There was an arcade next door and we did play countless games of Zaxxon. Peter squeezed every bit out of of the Atari 800 to give the best of what graphics and sound were capable of back then. Airbrush was hot back then too... :-)

C'mon, you can't deny the fun of shooting up buildings. A poor man's Zaxxon or Blue Max? Yes. Did I ever care? Not really. I played this game much more than I ever should have, but it was good fun and provides lots of mindless violence and destruction. God Bless America! Let's give this a generous 7/10.
