[[U.S. Gold]] also published versions of ''Zaxxon'' for the ZX Spectrum, while an MSX version was published by [[Pony Canyon]] (on cartridge) in Japan and by [[Philips]] (on cassette) in Europe. Also released was an IBM PC version in the "PC Booter" format, which is only optimised for the original 4.77MHz machine and so runs too fast on anything more modern.

Zaxxon (ザクソン) for home computers is a selection of Zaxxon ports to the Apple II, Atari 8-bit family, Commodore 64, IBM PC, MSX, TRS-80, TRS-80 CoCo and ZX Spectrum computers.

Versions

For a while, Datasoft had the rights to computer cassette and disk versions of the game in North America and Europe, producing ports to the Apple II, Atari 8-bit computer line, Commodore 64, TRS-80 and TRS-80 CoCo. Zaxxon was among the first licensed TRS-80 (and TRS-CoCo) video games to be released - up until this point few major video game developers supported either of Tandy's machines, so it was more common to see unofficial clones (and indeed many clones of Zaxxon would emerge in the following years, such as Zaksund and Z-89).

As well as Datasoft's version, another official port of Zaxxon produced for the Commodore 64 and released on cartridge. The cartridge version has more accurate visuals but is generally regarded as less playable. U.S. Gold also published versions of Zaxxon for the ZX Spectrum, while an MSX version was published by Pony Canyon (on cartridge) in Japan and by Philips (on cassette) in Europe. Also released was an IBM PC version in the "PC Booter" format, which is only optimised for the original 4.77MHz machine and so runs too fast on anything more modern.

Amsoft picked up the rights for an Amstrad CPC version of Zaxxon for release in 1986[10][11], but no such port materialised.
