Developer recreates classic shoot 'em up Zaxxon as a UEFI firmware — isometric arcade game coded in x86 assembly for no-OS represents 'total freedom from big tech'

Inkbox Software has recreated the classic arcade game Zaxxon to run directly from a PC's UEFI firmware, coded in x86-64 Assembly language and released as open source under the GPLv3 license. This project aims to provide "total freedom from big tech" by running the game without an operating system. Overcoming challenges like UEFI limitations for timings, keyboard input, and graphics, the game now runs smoothly at 128FPS on any x86_64 machine supporting UEFI. Interested users can find the game and resources on the Space Game for x64 GitHub.
