Sanxion
Many of today’s gamers are starting to play more retro games. It’s not only people who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s who enjoy them. An increasing number of young gamers are starting to realize how fun old games can be. The new interest in retro gaming has spawned many modern games that try to capture that retro feel, such as Octopath Traveler and Stardew Valley, and even great slot games like fire joker. In addition to playing modern games with retro looks, you can just go straight to the source and begin playing 1980s video games. As far as Finnish retro games are concerned, Sanxion is one of the best.Sanxion was developed by the Finnish game programmer Stavros Fasoulas, although it was published by the British company Thalamus. The horizontally-scrolling shooter game was released for the infamous Commodore 64 in 1986. The object of the game is to make it to the end of each level while avoiding obstacles and enemies. Sanxion is a fun little game but it’s most famous for two things. Firstly, it features award-winning SID music by the renowned game music composer Rob Hubbard, which was inspired by Jean Michel Jarre’s Zoolook. Secondly, the game was the first to use John Twiddy’s Cyberload loading system, which famously contained a message to potential hackers. The message read: “Hackers, f*** off and die.”
