Zero Wing Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Zero Wing is a 1989 Japanese shoot 'em up arcade game developed by Toaplan. Like other shoot 'em ups of the time, it featured no real plot, except to distinguish that the player is a lone hero who will save the universe from bad guys. However, it enjoyed a degree of success in the arcade, and was thus ported to the PC Engine and Sega Megadrive in 1991.

The reason for Zero Wing's popularity beyond its release as an arcade game and video game is due to the additions made to the European Megadrive version. To expand on the game's plot, an introductory cut-scene was added to the game. This introductory scene was poorly translated to English for the European release. In 1999, Zero Wing's Engrish intro was re-discovered by members of overclocked.org, culminating in the wildly successful "All your base are belong to us" memetic phenomenon. This also popularised the level 1 background music by Tatsuya Uemura.
The console version of Zero Wing was never released in North America, however the arcade version was distributed by Williams Electronics in North America.
The player, a "ZIG" fighter ship, has three different ways to attack:
In the intro scenes, the Zig's windows are green. In the game, the windows change color depending on what weapon one has. The green weapon (homing missiles) is the most versatile, clearing away hordes of enemies quickly and making boss battles merely a matter of dodging their bullets without worrying about aiming.
