About This Game

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!

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.

  • Minimal Input Lag: Emulation, input processing, and rendering all complete on the same frame.
  • Quick Save using F1-F10, Reload with Shift+ F1-F10
  • Online leaderboards for Single Credit, No Assist, and Assisted plays.
  • Instrument panels with extra gameplay information and artwork.
