Zero Wing is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game, notable for a poorly translated English version for Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) that spawned the "All your base are belong to us" Internet meme. Gameplay includes novel features such as being able to 'tractor' enemy ships, using them to shield your own.

Memes aside, it's actually a pretty solid space shooter. Nice visuals, though a bit too dark, good gameplay, sound effects and music. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's very playable.

On sait tous pourquoi je l'ai complété.

"All your bases are belong to us".

Blague à part j'aime bien le fait qu'il y a plusieurs fins, et bon j'ai utilisé le replay de l'émulateur NSO, donc j'ai un peu triché mais c'est ma façon de profiter du jeu

A classical horizontal shmup from the late 80s that lacks in originality what it makes up in notoriety thanks to a mistranslation that is quoted to this day for unknown reasons. It is also one of the only ones yours truly was able to beat on easy mode (strugglingly) through slow movement, lots of dodging mistakes and a funky soundtrack so fitting of the MegaDrive.

No idea why much negativity, it's a pretty alright side-scrolling shmup that delivered your favourite classic meme.

Didn't really care for it. The enemy capture system seems like it would be fun but all it's good for is making ad-hoc shields. There's nothing groundbreaking about this game nor does it execute the existing shmup formula in an outstanding way.

This is one of two side-scrollers Toaplan made (as opposed to top-down shooters, which make up the bulk of their output) - I prefer the other one, Hellfire, much better.
