Hard to believe a game of this quality only sells for $14. Very entertaining game for young and old. Hard to believe a game of this quality only sells for $14.

Love this! Thanks for the download! This feels like a next generation version of the old game Qix, which I used to play all the time until I upgraded my PC to XP and then it wouldn’t play anymore.

However, once I closed out everything and opened from the icon on my desktop (VISTA), it did just fine....no more showing that I need to register. Sorry for the earlier notice. Works with no problem on my Vista. I need to backtrack….#45….that was what happened each time I opened it with the automatic launch after download.

I have downloaded the game three times (and uninstalled the first two) following ALL directions. I went through the activation process and my computer showed the typical "activated" notation. However, when I open the game it says it is unregistered. It says I need to pay $14 to register the game. I had no trouble with the download to an XP computer....but wanted to play on this one!

I think comment #40 by gpc111 maybe right, as I was logged on as Admin when I installed it. The game runs smoothly Hi Game Seeker...Not seen you commenting for quite some time. Nice to see you are still around :) I miss your concise and informative comments that were always very readable. Will you be returning, or are you too busy these days? :) Although I'm not a great fan of the Jezzball genre, I've found myself playing this game several times throughout the day; which can only mean one thing.... that it's simple and addictive fun. The only gripe I would comment on, which has already been mentioned above is the inability to save your progress. I'm hoping that it's like other games in that maybe it saves your progress after attaining certain levels? However if it's not I do hope the developer will update the game further. Personally, I wouldn't pay the asking price though, because I think most arcade games are over-priced. As I've said previously, I can purchase excellent games from my local stores for far less, many of which were originally $50 games. Maybe when an arcade game has first been released the cost can be justified, but as with any old game, the price should drop with time. I'm sure the arcade buisness would do itself a great favour if it re-priced 'most' of it's stock along this principle. (Just my opinion) I give this game 7 out of 10 for playability and simplicity. :D P.S. Matt B comment #17 I'm playing the game at a resolution of 1162 x 864 which looks 'reasonably' widescreen on my widescreen monitor??? :) As mentioned above (comment #10 you can adjust the screen res' by clicking on the first options menu. You'll find the following screen res' options: 512 x 384 640 x 480 800 x 600 1024 x 768 1152 x 864 1280 x 960 1600 x 1200 Comment #30 Franp; I had no problems installing AirXonix on my Vista machine.

I used to have oh so much joy with my stick playing an ever so awesome game called Helix. Then my Amiga died and so did the whole Amiga industry. Ever since I was forced to use a Plastic Cube (PC), my search for a Helix lookalike has been a state of mind... now finally I can rest. I can sleep... BUST MUST PLAY AIRXONIX... Must Play... must play... m.st..pl.y... AOnce upon a time, way back when, I had a little Amiga 600. I used to have oh so much joy with my stick playing an ever so awesome game called Helix.

I prefer the original simply because the enhanced graphics don't really ad enough to the game in my opinion.
