Zero wing intro12/1/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It can definitely start to feel samey after a while. Some of the bosses are definitely distinct, but a lot of the enemy designs here feel more generic than a lot of other Toaplan titles, or even compared to the other horizontal shooter, Hellfire. The game itself looks pretty alright, though the stage backgrounds are pretty dark and don’t get that colorful or memorable as you go through each of the eight stages. Otherwise, you have crisp pixels on display and pretty accurate audio, which is a good thing considering how Zero Wing has a very good soundtrack, even in the more shrill Arcade soundfont of this version. The same sort of display/menu options as the prior two Bitwave Toaplan titles I reviewed so far, with the main difference being that well, this is a horizontal title, so there’s no TATE mode for obvious reasons, and the handy UI gadgets are shrunken to make up for the bigger screen size. The infamously legendary opening is from the Genesis port of the game, which is not included here, (but interestingly enough, is to be recreated in a future patch for this release) so yet again you’re meant to just get shooting! Thanks to Bitwave Games for the review code Title: Zero WingĪ change from the usual Toaplan norm, here we have a horizontal shooter! The evil CATS army invades, and it is up to you to go through eight stages and stop their empire! Like usual, this Arcade version doesn’t have any sort of story in-game, though it does offer a brief, goofy ending if you clear a loop.
