[ 2023-08-03 13:12:18 CET ] [ Original post ] 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:
- Skill-based shoot 'em up action with horizontal scrolling in a treacherous galaxy full of enemies, bosses and levels!
- Capture your enemies with the powerful "Seizer Beam" and fire them at their allies for devastating destruction!
- Take control of the Red Scatter Cannon, Blue Laser, and Green Homing Missiles and upgrade them for even greater damage!
- Invite a second player at any time in the co-op version!
- Rock out to the original soundtrack from composers Tatsuya Uemura, Masahiro Yuge, and Toshiaki Tomizawa.
