I don't have Zaxxon, but I think I can help you with Cannonball Blitz.
To get past the third rack, first get up to the last ladder (except for
the flag one). When you jump to the next platform, move (VERY carefully)
as far to the right as possible. When a cannonball passes, jump to the next
platform, and immediately again move to the far right of it. A cannonball
will bounce on the left edge of the platform - if you hold still, it lands
on your head. What you must do is wait until the cannonball is at its apogee
(i.e. highest up it'll go), and at ONCE move under it. Then jump to the cannon
platform. You will probably need to AGAIN move to the very right of it, and run
under the cannonball at its highest point. Then scoot real fast to the ladder,
climb it, catch the flag, watch the cartoon, and go back to the first rack
with *exploding* cannonballs!!
