The ZX Spectrum was home to many isometric games, and Zaxxon was one of them.

The ZX Spectrum was often seen as the computer of choice during the early 1980s and lasted most of the decade that followed. It made sense for Sega games to be brought to the system.

Though it struggled for the most part, U.S. Gold kept trying to bring it the latest arcade games, even when the arcade hardware that powered said games was far more advanced than what the ZX Spectrum could offer. Whereas it did mean games such as Power Drift were almost unrecognisable, the fact that these cassettes were being sold very cheaply kept the platform alive far longer than expected.

Some of the later games were sold on 3-inch floppy disks for newer versions of the computer. Due to the fall of Sinclair and the rise of more advanced gaming platforms, the flood of games stopped by the early 1990s.
