Tips for Playing Zaxxon . . . from 1983
Over four years ago I reviewed the Zaxxon boardgame that was published in 1983 by Milton Bradley. Zaxxon isn’t a great boardgame, but it had a definite influence on my gameplaying of the eighties (which influenced my later life) and I’m quite happy to have a copy of the game in my collection. I should take it down and play through it again.
I may have the boardgame, but what I don’t have is a full-size Zaxxon machine. I’m unlikely to ever have one, but if I do then I’ll want to look at the June, 1983 Blip Magazine for tips on playing the game. Thank you, internet, for archiving as many unnecessary and fun things as possible!
