Zaxxon 3D is a 1987 video game published by Sega for the Master System console. It is based on Sega's 1982 arcade game, Zaxxon.

Gameplay

Zaxxon 3D is a game in which the player pilots a Zaxxon craft through nine levels of the Vargan Space Fortress, with the SegaScope 3-D Glasses wired directly into the game system.[2]

Reception

Bill Kunkel reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "words cannot adequately describe the sensations one experiences while playing this game. Though other arcade games have tried to duplicate an illusion of depth, they all comes short of the mark. Zaxxon 3-D serves up the real thing, in a format familiar to most gamers".[2]
