This is the much-maligned Atari 2600 version of Zaxxon.  Many people dislike it because it lacks the isometric 3D effect of the arcade version, but I like it anyway, and I think they did a great job with it considering the limitations of the 2600 hardware.

Video captured directly from the RF output of my original Atari 2600, through the TV tuner feature of my computer's video capture card.  NOT an emulation -- you can tell by the classic RF interference in the video picture!

The audio didn't pick up correctly on the recording, so I used YouTube's "AudioSwap" to substitute in a music track.
