The Zarzon upright arcade cabinet appeared in the 1983 film Joysticks. Zarzon, like a lot of arcade games, uses a character based display. The screen is divided up into individual characters. Each character is usually 8 pixels.

Don't Say
by: Sierra SwanI'm twenty-one, barely twenty-two
And why do I feel like I've paid all my dues?
I've never tried heroin, I've never done time
So why do I feel like I've committed the crimes?
And he got me drunk
And laid me down
He treated me like a servant
Me into the ground
And now I'm scared straight
Can't a procreate
I just can say I never
Should have shaved
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
So now I'm fine
Thank God, for your time
I can lay in my bed
And waste a different part of my mind
I made a promise
I looked up to the sky
And repeated positivity's
To all mankind
So now I'm straight
I can procreate
But I just can't say
I never got laid
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
And these are the days I'd like to forget
I go out every night and regret
Everything and everyone I've done
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
