Memes aside, is Zero Wing actually a good game worth playing?
What memes?
>>12493530Yeah it was pretty good.
>>12493530It's a mediocre shmup.
>>12493557Were you born in the 00s or something?
>>12493562Yes?
>>12493584>>12493557The lines from the Genesis/MD port, "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" and to a lesser extent "SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB," were huge memes back in the early 2000s. Old videogames were a big part of internet humor back then.https://youtu.be/qItugh-fFgg>>12493530I've never played the home version, only the arcade one, which is quite difficult, but also pretty fun with great graphics and music.
>>12493557Say sike right now.
>>12493609I don't get it.
>>12493584>written high rising terminal Why do zoomers talk and write like women?
/vr/ I am begging you to please go ONE thread without zoomer derangement syndrome
>>12493626Maybe it wouldn't be a thing if zoomers weren't so fucking obnoxious and so retarded they can't even google a simple thing
>>12493629Boohoo faggot
>>12493616Asians (and sometimes other non-English speakers) writing things in broken, barely comprehensible, and/or flat out nonsensical English, aka "Engrish," was peak comedy at the time. Nerds on the internet came together to laugh at the barely comprehensible Engrish in Zero Wing's opening, made shoops of it, and the whole fad/meme eventually made its way over to the mainstream. It was an earlier example of some obscure internet comedy becoming more mainstream, like Duckrolling > Rickrolling > Rickrolling featured in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade thing.
>>12493530As far as shmups go, not really.
>>12493530It's okay. But there's a reason nobody really talked about it before the intro became a meme.
>>12493530Great soundtrack
>>12493530What do we think of the PCE port?
>>12493530It's okay, kind of a mediocre shmup. There's better stuff on the Genesis.
Honestly, you have no chance to survive make your time.
More importantly, is it worth playing 35 times in a row to see every ending?
TAKE OFF EVERY 'ZIG'!!
What you say?
>>12494648Are there really that many endings? How? Isn't it just a shmup?
>>12494678Move 'ZIG'!
>>12493557They say the main bad guy I'd a cat but he's obviously the borg from star wars. We would laugh for hours about it
>>12493616>No context dramatic scifi anime cutscene in bad EnglishTake your time, I'll let you piece it together
>>12493530>is Zero Wing actually a good game worth playing?Yes. I've only beat it twice, but it's good, and the soundtrack is 10/10. This is coming from someone who normally doesn't play shmups, and I literally only played it because of the old All Your Base fad (meme) happening in the early 00's, when newgrounds was still awesome.I'd imagine a crazy amount of people downloaded the rom at the time. Funny "engrish" meme is actually a good game.
>>12494648Is it worth it to you to say you beat the game?
>>12493557Don't worry about it kid.
>>12494090Lmao great use of the meme
>>12494678*Robotic voice* Hahaha!
>>12494030Full House soundtrack
>>12494708It only has a couple of endings, but after you see those, you start getting dialogue screens of the CATS guy saying more and more inane shit.https://legendsoflocalization.com/comparisons/zero-wing/endings/
>>12493557What you say!!
>>12493609When I first heard the phrase "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US", I assumed it was quoting some kind of RTS game like Risk or something on DOS. I was surprised it was as modern as the genesis.
>>12493609>The lines from the Genesis/MD port, "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" and to a lesser extent "SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB," were huge memes back in the early 2000s. Old videogames were a big part of internet humor back then.It's interesting to think some swede writing "has anyone ever been so far to like has been?" became an internet phenomenon (remember when memes were "internet phenomenons?)If you posted something like that today, people would just reply "ESL" and move on.
>>12493530It's not the best game ever or anything, but it's a solid and competent shmup with some VERY sweet music.>>12493609I remember even teachers knew of ALL YOUR BASE back then.>>12493994There's really nothing particularly notable about it for its gameplay or design or anything, but I'm glad for the meme because the music is great.
>>12493557Apparently this game has 70+ unique endings for each loop, although 1/3 of them are just simple monochrome walls of text with a "Why the fuck are you still playing this? Go take a rest already!" type of message IIRC.
ALL YOUR BASE YOUR BASEBASEBASEALL YOUR BASEARE BELONG TO US
>>12495879>Apparently this game has 70+ unique endings for each loop35The first 3 are "real" endings, the other 32 are Japanese exclusive joke endings full of old Japanese pop culture references.
>>12496087Does the arcade version have any endings other than the one that says "CATS is still alive"?
