Synopsis

Axis Assassin is a 1983 tube shooter video game written by John Field and published by Electronic Arts for the Apple II. Ports for Atari 8-bit computers and Commodore 64 were released alongside the Apple II original. The game is similar in concept and visuals to Atari's 1981 game Tempest. Along with M.U.L.E., Hard Hat Mack, Archon: The Light and the Dark, and Worms?, Axis Assassin was one of the first five games published by Electronic Arts. Field is included in the two-page "We See Farther" magazine ad from 1983 that positioned EA's game developers as "rock stars." Field also wrote The Last Gladiator for Electronic Arts, which was published the same year as Axis Assassin.
