Zaxxon (Commodore 64)

Unless these were developed by the same people, I fail to see the purpose of comparing two very different ports. If any unused (or hidden) content were to be found, these would be covered in separate articles. --From: CounterDiving (talk) 03:11, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

This would be covered under Help:Contents/Rules & Guidelines, Differences between released versions. (Example: Documenting the differences between the Japanese and American releases of a game.) If it doesn't fit, that line item should be edited to reduce confusion about this type of distribution. In addition, the ports of Zaxxon are confusingly similar even when looking at original advertisements where Synapse showcases their version, and then uses a mockup screenshot from the cartridge version, and it's to a degree where some archival sites and teams (e.g. TOSEC) also get confused about the differences between the versions (that is, they tagged the cartridge version as developed by Synapse or co-published by U.S. Gold.) --Sigma 7 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
I just added an exception for "Differences between released versions.", that being "Multiple ports to a platform, from different developers." --From: CounterDiving (talk) 13:42, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
