The soundtrack is bloody amazing in this game, I remember having the Megadrive version when I was younger but I always skipped the opening to get on shooting things.

It should be noted that two-player simultaneous play was only available in the US arcade version (i.e., the Williams release). Zero Wing was originally a one-player game.

Every time I hear about this game, I am like "okay okay, the meme - got it - but let's talk about the goddamn gameplay already". It was nice to see that this video had that approach as well, and mostly just mentioned the meme a little bit and then talked about the actual game, instead of talking about the meme for like 90% of the video.

That's the very reason why I like Classic Game Room so much. I don't need Mark to be overly negative and trash games just because he could, I have AVGN or Yahtzee for that. And like I said, there are games he does't really care for, look at his review of Dark Void, the Hyperscan, Ridge Racer 64 or that Starsky and Hutch game he did recently.

There are games that he doesn't like, just like anyone else, but he chooses not to focus on the negative. Mark never comes out and says that something sucks, because in his mind every thing has to appeal to somebody, and because that it must have something to it that is worth focusing on, without dwelling on all of the bad things. And FYI, just because you don't happen to like something, doesn't mean everyone is going to share your opinion. Some people may, but some will not. That's just life.

For a game this infamous, Zero Wing is not actually that expensive. I got my European MD version complete in box for about 10 euro. By the way, the MD version is region free, so there is no reason not to just import it and play it on a Genesis. It's just too bad the MD version doesn't have a two-player mode.

Just one for the Megadrive regions, by the looks of it.

As was the case with Midnight Resistance and Truxton, the arcade music is extremely bland in comparison to the Mega Drive version. In this case, the PC Engine is on the CD add-on and has kickass arranged music, so that also makes the arcade OST bite the dust. However, I think it goes without saying that the arcade version looks and plays better.

@atomicskull6405 7 жыл бұрын

Toaplan's OPL2 soundtracks had a vibe to them that was missing in the Megadrive versions. That's the same sound chip as the Soundblaster though Toaplan made much better use of it than most PC games ever managed to (most PC games just set the operators and envelope and then triggered notes and didn't do any realtime modification of the parameters). The bass sounds in particular were really good in Toaplan's OPL soundtracks. The Genesis/Megadrive version of Zero Wing and a few other Toaplan ports were actually made by Toaplan themselves. It's a pity Twin Cobra wasn't though.
