This week’s featured game is Zaxxon.
Season 3, Week 10 of Score Chasing begins Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 12:00:01 PST (GMT-8) featuring Zaxxon, the arcade version. This article will tell you everything you need to know about how to join our group and play.
PLEASE NOTE: this score chasing event is for adults, age 18 and older, so if you aren’t yet 18, then please return when you are.
First, let’s learn more about Zaxxon (Arcade). How is the game played via Zaxxon – Videogame by Sega/Gremlin | Museum of the Game
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 enemy robot. The game uses an isometric three-quarters perspective that was a unique concept to arcade games of that era.

This will take you directly to the official PGM iScored Score Chasing Scoreboard at the spot where you will enter your score on Zaxxon (arcade). Where can you play? Here are a few suggestions (alphabetical order) but is not a complete list by any means:
- Arcade – yes, check your local area for barcades, arcades, mallcades, etc. You might have an arcade machine nearby and play might still be a quarter!
- Various Emulated / MAME / CoinOpsX / etc – emulated versions are allowed, but we do not typically link to these sources.
- Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch – search the stores for consoles for “arcade archives” as sometimes there are licensed versions of the games we feature available.
Now that you have located where to play, simply start playing to establish your personal best score. The goal of score chasing is not a typical leaderboard high score, be the top score tournament. We simply want you to play and beat your personal best.

I’m excited to check this one out! This is my first exposure to it, and after watching some gameplay footage it looks like it will be a lot of fun to score chase with everyone.
Zaxxon is a great game! I still vividly remember the first time I saw the game thinking: oh my, this is like I’m flying into this fortress. I felt really immersed in the game by the over the wing camera placement. I had a similar experience with Scramble, but not as mind blowing as Zaxxon, which I always felt had some of the best graphics back at the time.
