The original Zero Wing was a groundbreaking game back in the day and this remaster perfectly encapsulates that experience.
Four blasts from the past, redone to near perfection.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I’m all for gaming preservation, but I feel like this particular version of Zero Wing isn’t the one that should have been preserved. Or, at the very least, the folks at Bitwave Games should have added the option for us to change between the arcade port (the better one, mechanically speaking) and the Mega Drive port (the one with the meme that made it famous) via a menu option. It’s not a bad game, far from it, and Bitwave did a good job at porting and remastering it, but this was a missed opportunity. Vanilla Zero Wing just doesn’t have that many interesting elements that make it stand out from the ten billion other space shooters released in the early 90s."
Here's Retroheadz round up of the best side scrolling Shoot 'em ups to get for the Sega Megadrive.
Had a browse... It's crazy how expensive some of the games have gotten. And to think they were a £fiver at one point.
Indeed, although the pricing is an average of what they are going for on ebay right now so we doubt if you'd get some of these for a fiver but you never know, you might get lucky:)
I just meant that they were a £fiver about 20 years ago... I had a few of those, but sold them to CEX when I got rid of my Megadrive.
True classics from the best era of gaming. That’s why prices are going up and up:)
