Must have been more than a week since I played Zaxxon from datasette (the cool guys run it from floppy nowadays) Grin

my buds and i wasted more time playing archon on the c64 than anything else i can remember doing from back in the day. wore out several joysticks just on that one game until i bought the Big Red Stick (i think that was the name)

best game ever.

time to fire up an emulator. maybe build an proper arcade cabinet.

Ah, the screenshot rang a bell but was not into it much. Though I wasted half my youth in front of a C64, notably I never played again really after that.
Regarding joystick killing,
Decathlon was unbeatable in that regard. One afternoon with friends and the microswitches in the joystick were done for good.

In retrospect it was a really stupid game, but great for competition between friends and perfect training for later in youth when similar hand movement without joystick started to prevail.

I am just gonna leave this here for those who know what's what.
