Trivia
John Garcia was actually in management at Datasoft when Zaxxon was written. He later founded Novalogic and he and the company still remain today over 20 years later.
There are two different, official ports of Zaxxon for the Commodore 64. Sega/US Gold released Zaxxon on cartridge and Synapse Software released it on disk and cassette. Of the two, most people tend to agree that the Synapse version is superior. While the cartridge version's graphics are somewhat more faithful to the arcade original, the gameplay and sound aren't as polished as the Synapse version.
