Longplay and review for “Zaxx” on the Amstrad CPC!

I’ve always loved the arcade coin-op Zaxxon! And wished there was an official port and conversion to the Amstrad!! 😭 So in this video I go in search of what happened to the Amstrad port when every other computer and console bloody got one (spoiler… we nearly did….), I also go looking for the best Zaxxon clones on the Amstrad (another spoiler… it’s our main feature and longplay – “Zaxx”!) but first we start off with a little history lesson and playthrough of the first loop of the classic coin-op that started it all – Zaxxon! However our main feature is of course the longplay and review of Chip’s Zaxxon clone “ZAXX” and I think most of you will be fairly impressed…

I hope you enjoy this video, it’s a little bit different in style to my usual longplays, and certainly was fun to make and put together!

“Zaxx” though, I think is surprisingly quite a hidden little gem for such a blatant rip-off and clone….
