ZAXXON

ZAXXON was a video game introduced by a company called SEGA in the early 1980s. They added an extra letter X in the middle of Zaxon's name to avoid a lawsuit. Zaxon was upset that they took his name without asking. Zaxon was also angry that the ZAXXON in the game was an evil robot, instead of a benevolent being. Sega even borrowed the blue color scheme used by good aliens for their evil ZAXXON game. The whole situation was less than pleasant. However, as far as we know, Zaxon is not planning a lawsuit.

The advertisement and the screen shot above show Sega's liberal use of the Zaxonian Blue color scheme. Since Zaxon the Great was born in the mid fifteenth century and ZAXXON the game was not created until the late twentieth century, it is easy to see who stole from whom. Some Zaxonian scholars maintain that Sega is actually a money-laundering enterprise for the Bad Aliens.
