Zero Wing blasts onto PC for the first time ever!
Toaplan's classic 1989 arcade shooter is back and upgraded with an armada of features, like the brand-new beginner mode, arcade-accurate emulation, quick saves, and online leaderboards! At its time, critics praised Zero Wing for its skill-based gameplay, and it is nowadays mainly credited with giving rise to the internet meme "All your base are belong to us."
CATS, the cyborg commander of a band of swashbuckling space pirates, is terrorizing the galaxy. You must pilot the only remaining ZIG attack craft into combat to stop CATS and his buccaneers!
ORIGINAL GAME FEATURES:

- Invite a second player at any time in the co-op version!
