Zaxxon - Level Rank Pennant 1982
Zaxxon is a classic 1980s game that has gotten very little nostalgia. It captures the feels of the pop sci-fi feel of 1982 in between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Nothing so cute at first, but at later levels cute Zaxxon dragons appeared, but few had enough skill or quarters to reach that level.
Of vexillological note are the red pennant markers that denoted ones level.
The Zaxxon of Temple had a diamond coat of arms of green, yellow, and white. The field is green and what looks like bolts of yellow lightning under a white Z are visible. Note the Z is crossed with a mid mark.
It seems in Zaxxon lore that dragon like lizard beings created these floating space fortresses. In the game, if a pilot is skilled enough the red, blue, and green dragons make an appearance to defend their space fortresses.
Maybe a reboot of Return of the Zaxxon Dragons - 2022 is overdue?

Red, White, and Blue Day Flags from Sausage Party 2016
Sausage Party uses the quantum multiple realities to convey its quirky dimension, whereby food products are alive, yet humans are unaware. Apparently this movie takes place in a reality that is like our USA, yet is based upon different laws of physics, that are so close yet so different.
If you like low brow humour and edgy innuendo, then this movie is for you!

Flag for the Way-Mid Pole or Anti-Pole
Since there is now a Center Pole which is aligned with the standard map orientation with East to the right and north towards the up or forwards, we now have an opposite end to the Center Pole: the Way-Mid Pole or Anti-Pole.
This is the flag for the Way-Mid Pole. The colours of the flag are white, green and two shades of blue. The Way-Mid Pole is in the Pacific Ocean directly 90 Degrees east of the East Pole and 90 west of the West Pole.
It is called the Way-Mid Pole because it is not at Midway. Furthermore from its point of orientation, it is backwards from the East Pole and West Pole. The West Pole is eastward, while the East Pole is westward. Bottom line is, that it is the opposite pole of the Center Pole in Gabon, Central Africa.
