Story[edit]
You are Jaxon Zoose, an android super-hero who has embarked on a mission to save humankind from space invaders.
About Jaxon Zoose[edit]
The concept of Jaxon Zoose was inspired by an enthusiasm for games like Captain Comic, Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Spear Of Destiny, Prince Of Persia, Out Of This World, Crystal Caves, Secret Agent, Obitus, Rescue Rover, Catacombs 3D, Monuments Of Mars, Jill Of The Jungle, & Zeliard! Frustrated that not enough new games were coming out, I became compelled to create some new ones.
We distribute Jaxon Zoose as shareware because we believe that users will find enjoyment in playing the games which is the number one concern above all others. We also have faith that people will recognize our hard work & dedication, and will register and support our products,in order that we will have more incentive to create more new exciting things.

Sprites[edit]
- All of Acord's games seem to have derived their basic control scheme from Penguin Pete.
Maps[edit]
- The first level appears to be largely original.
- Levels 2, 3, and 4 are based on Sample, Houses, and Animation.
- Levels 5-6 are based on Pipemare.

Archive History[edit]
