It also raises an interesting challenge for game designers. Finally, the Zaxxon board has another trick up its sleeve: that axonometric perspective is partially implemented in hardware. From the tilemap perspective, the map is scrolling left to right. But the game hardware skews it, thus giving us a diagonal movement. You can also see that the gap in the first castle is implemented partially using sprites; sprites are not skewed like the background tilemap, so the game actually has additional stored graphics for the wall in sprite form that are pre-skewed.
Every released game using the Zaxxon hardware seems to use this skewed perspective. Interestingly, Sega did have two prototype games in , Ixion and Razzmatazz , that used similar hardware but with the skew disabled, and those games did not use the isometric perspective at all. Which is probably just as apt of a title; despite the name, the game has very little to do with the future or with espionage. Considering how hard-coded the Zaxxon hardware is to being, well, Zaxxon , it makes sense that Future Spy is itself also an isometric shooter.
At first glance, you might mistake this game for just being Zaxxon set on Earth. Actually, the gameplay is quite different.
The screenshots are from the PC Engine release rather than the arcade board, for the simple reason that I have one and not the other. Xevious , like Zaxxon , brings three dimensions to shooting. But it does so in quite a different way. Instead, your access to things below you is handled with your weapons. You have two weapons: a gun which fires forward, and a missile which heads downward to where your targeting reticle shows.
This is exactly how Future Spy works, even with the targeting reticle. The game definitely has its own personality, with the smaller play area and the more realistic military setting.

They begin with six shields, which are lost one by one as they collide with an enemy or their fire shots. Once they lose all their shields and are hit again, the game is over.
But poor controls and limited interactivity kept it from reaching any list of best video games. Developed by Williams Electronics and released in , Joust popularized the idea of two-player cooperative gameplay, which was far more successful than its predecessors.
The objective was to use a button and joystick to control a knight riding a flying ostrich, progressing through stages by defeating a number of enemy knights riding buzzards. With John Newcomer leading the team at Williams, he wanted to create a flying game that involved two-player cooperative gameplay while avoiding the usual space theme.
