are you gentlemen!! You are on the way to destruction. What happen? What you say!! You have no chance to
survive make your time. Ha ha ha ha! Captain!! Take off every 'Zig'! You know what you doi. Move 'Zig'.
FOR GREAT JUSTICE.
Zero Wing for the SEGA Genesis has been savaged by critics and the gaming population for it's abysmal translation
from Japanese to English, although this shoddy work created one of the most famous videogaming phrases in
history (even featured in the "What if life were more like a videogame" sketch on Futurama - Anthology of
Interest Part I).
It's not totally fair just to review a game on it's cutscenes, but the main gameplay of Zero Wing is nothing short of
mildy entertaining, and is absolutely nothing to get worked up about. One of the only perks for this game is to see Cats utter the humbling phrase we've all spent our lives making references to, or just to play a simple run-of-the-mill space shooter. Sorry for not mentioning any gameplay notes in this review, but really, it's nothing too different from a good 7 hours of Space Invaders.
