 Pong-like games were so big in the early 70s that Atari just started putting Pong in random objects, like barrels and dog houses. I particularly love how Atari managed to envision *two* completely different barrel-based cabinets, each absurd/inexplicable in its own right

 [🧵 4/x] Moving on to the arcade unit itself: while Zaxxon might not have the flashiest cabinet, I happen to absolutely adore it! That wood paneling gives me so much nostalgia for "the Wood Generation" (70's/80's, when wood paneling was in vogue), and the contrast of the silver/black of the control panel makes you feel like you're in a warm, wood-panneled spaceship. Maybe it looks a little "functionality-over-form", but I can't help but love that such a (at the time) futuristic game occupied a cabinet that felt so immediately familiar to us in the (then-"Wood Generation") present.

 [🧵 3/x] Zaxxon immediately stood out in the arcade for being one of the first games (that I'm aware of) featuring an isometric perspective. This gives the game a distinct 3-dimensional appearance at a time when most games were strictly 2-dimensional in perspective. Not only does this look cool, it also requires new skills of the player- specifically, adjusting the altitude of the ship in real-time to avoid obstacles and/or precisely land shots on enemies.

 [🧵 2/x] Zaxxon is a space shooter created by Sega, comprised of three distinct stages. Stages 1 and 3 see you flying through large “space fortresses”, while stage 2 requires you to fly in free space between them. Each stage has various hazards (turrets, rockets, fighter ships, etc.) to defeat, while also contending with an ever-decreasing fuel supply. At the end of the third stage, you fight a large robot (who I *believe* is the titular “Zaxxon”), after which the waves repeat, albeit with higher difficulty.
