I was watching......"filter" on G4 tv.... they rated this game as number 5 on their top 10 "worst games ever" list..... has anyone ever played this? It looks like a decent shooter... but had horribly funny dialogue.... also they had the balls to put shenmue on this list at like number 2..... wtf!!!!!! man oh man.... oh well.. I don't get it.

Yeah it actually was a pretty shitty game

 stack99 Mar 6, 2004
so for a shooter, it just sucked??? Hmmm oh well I will have to try it to see how bad it reeaally is.. :lol:

I made the texxt for that game, thats why i a m always spelling things wrong, or is it because i am using a compaq keyboard

I thought it was just mediocre. Not terrible, but of course compared to something like Gradius or R-Type it's pretty bad. It's really just a matter of what your tastes are. Also, the MD/Genny port was not so hot; the arcade version is better, and I hear that the PC Engine version is decent also.

Yeah, it's not really a bad game, it just pales in comparison to some (okay, most) of Toaplan's other work. It's certainly not one of the top ten worst however.

I also don't think it's really fair to compare it to R-Type or Gradius, as those are pretty much pattern based games whereas Zero Wing is more like Thunderforce or Gaiares- a reflex-based shooter.

What the? Zero Wing is a great game! I can't believe anyone could call it a bad game :huh

I dont get it either, from the pics. it looks fine, but it has a horrible translation going for it...lol :lol: :lol:

I guess you missed out on the "all your base are belong to us" hoopla of not so long ago. google that phrase and you'll probably find alot more than you want to know. the shockwave flash music video with the photo shopped pictures is worth at least a once-through though. If it weren't for the "popularity" rebirth a few years ago, I doubt this game would have made the list. It simply would have gone unnoticed.

I wonder who was the first to do that flash

I agree. G4 just sucks, I guess. This is why I don't get video game reviews/ratings from TV.

I have the game on Megadrive and I must say it's pretty good... not outstanding in the graphics department but fun nonetheless.
