"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."

About
Zing Zing Zip is a fast paced arcade shooter where you take on waves of enemies including planes tanks and a train. Each level ends with a massive boss battle and you can collect power ups like smartbombs missiles and lasers to clear the screen. Up to two players can team up locally via split screen for co op action. The controls are tight and the action never slows down making it a straightforward but chaotic shoot em up experience. The game includes spoken lines which was uncommon for arcade titles at the time. Released in 1992 it holds a niche place in retro gaming circles with its bold visuals and competitive multiplayer modes. While not impressive by today's standards it remains a relic of early 90s arcade design with a focus on raw firepower and simple mechanics.
