when i was a boy, the local cab (taxi) office had 2 machine's in there. one of the last ones i remember was a game called zygon.
it was a Kamikaze/kosmo killer clone. i spent aeons looking for the rom for my bro to play. he worked there and played every day. i only played it once for real, i was terrible, as i only knew space invaders by then. after a couple of years, i found the kamikaze rom. i could not find the zygon clone. not even on google in any form.
then i got an x arcade stick, so invited my bro round to surprise him.
i got it up on the screen all secretive like, and offered him to play.
he said "ain't you got defender?" and tried that instead. ungrateful tosser!!!
strange how it does not exist as far as my search went.
the moral of the story is:
"BIG BROTHER. WHAT A B*ST*RD!"
:lol:

They didn't have a Pac-Man machine there too, with a stoner dude as one of the cab drivers hooked on it, did they?
