Coleco / 1981 / Owner’s Manual PDF
These were great. Coleco made Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Frogger, Galaxian, Zaxxon, Berzerk, and Space Invaders. I was reading that Omega Race never made it to production. Also, they made Gakken Super Puck Monster, which was simply the Japanese version of Pac-Man.
I had Zaxxon – I wasn’t very good at it. I remember the image being “3D” and projected from the bottom up, off reflective glass at an angle.
I have seen folks recently make “custom” versions modeling this Coleco style and form factor. Those include Dig Dug, Q*bert, Tempest, and Galaga.
