Abandonware DOS title

Zaxxon

Back in 1984, Zaxxon was the future. Isometric graphics? Whoa. Shadow effects? Mind blown. But mostly, it was a game about flying a chunky spaceship through a heavily fortified space base while crashing into walls at high speed. The perspective takes a minute to get used to — or a decade — but once you’ve got it, you’re shooting down enemy drones and dodging laser fire like a pro. It’s arcade-style action with a twist, and it taught a whole generation that depth perception is hard.
