What can I say about this game? Not much. It is basically River Raid with horrible graphics and game play. The only difference is the elevation / 3D control. I never really cared for the arcade game and this version just plain sucks. It is not even remotely fun or enjoyable to play. I did have the C64 version when I was a kid and played that quite often. It seems like the makers of this game focused everything into the elevation / 3D aspect of the game and just let everything else go to shit. I understand the 2600 had its limitations but it seems like they could have done way better with this game. They would have been better off to maybe make it a side scroller and called it Zaxxon 2 or Super Zaxxon or something and not tried to make a port of the arcade. They failed miserably on this game. I give it a 1 out of 10 only because the only other game I know of to use the elevation / 3D feature on the 2600 is desert falcon which came out way later. I believe this game was the first to use that feature / novelty.
Here is a pic of the cartridge.
