Title: ZarXas by Chip, can anyone locate an inlay image?
Post by: ZEUSDAZ on 20:50, 05 September 22
Hi, I've been asked to play a CPC game from 1987 called ZarXas by Chip software but I need a bit of info.

Was this a commercial release and if it was can anyone locate an image of the game inlay art as I need to make a thumbnail of it and how much it was retailed for, thanks in advance!

Thanks for that but yes I already looked at that page, doesn't seem to be any inlay pics of any of the CHIP release games, sounds like they were all programmed in a bedroom and just put out there, if anyone can find a cassette inlay of ZARXAS then please share, thanks!

I've searched all Pixel magazines (OCR) with no results.

The same :-)

I tried the game, it's a Lode Runner clone.
The original is better.

It's possible that Zarxas was only released as part of various compilations, such as the one @VincentGR linked to, and it wasn't released on its own.
