That's what I miss the most from today's games: A good soundtrack. Except from castlevania and some other rare exceptions, modern games lack this emotional, well crafted music... If it was not the soundtrack, I wouldn't even remember some games. Zillion rocks.
@IMetaller666I : I know exactly what you mean. For me it´s quite the same though I`m a little bit older..I really miss those good old Master System days.. By the way I too, am from Germany:)
Zillion was one of the Sega Master System games that I didn't play when I was a child. I'm still gonna play it and remember my 6~7 years old and now I'm 19. I'm from Brazil and I thank Tec Toy to bring the SMS here(and still some exclusive games or translated)

It was actually a promotional tie-in when Sega sponsored the anime at the time, even though there were no Sega Light Phasers sold in Japan. (There were laser-tag systems released by Sega in Japan, however, that looked like the Light Phasers and were sold as Zillion merchandise.)
When Sega pulled their sponsorship money from the show, [SPOILER] the guns were changed, contradicting a plot element having to do with being unable to modify the Zillion Weapon System.
I love this game and its music. It's a pity most people outside Japan don't know it. I played it when it came out in +/-1988, barely understanding what it was about (I had the Japanese version and as a child I didn't know English anyway). I'm 30 now and once in a while I load it up in an emulator and play it again.
I played this game the first time when I was about 4 years old. Today, I still play it. And I'm 18!
I love this game! It has so much memories. Memories when I was a child..Memories of the past..Nice memories..I remember when I played this game every evening with my father. These were GOOD games. Today it's just graphics..
I'm from Germany. Maybe my english isn't so good. Sorry.
Don't worry, your English doesn't look bad. I appreciate people from an international community leaving comments too, even if they can't speak English at all and just post in their native language. :)
Awesome! I always thought the music for Zillion rocked, but it wasn't until year later that I found that they were based on the Anime sound track...some of which had vocals!
i'm home fellow nerds! i remember this and thought the soundtrack was stellar. Now i'm older and its not the 80's.Theres still a play for it in my heart though hahaah!
Oh my, that melody tugs at my heartstrings... >u<

I wanted to know who scored this adaptation to MIDI sound of the opening zillion cartoon theme
he deserves an award, for this and for all the music in this game
freaking awesome!!!
I used to play this game the whole day just because of the song
and I would just leave it turned on while JJ is outdoors to here this specific tune
touching!!!

Coincidence?

@LashSB Not really; the weapons were based off of it as a "promotional" tie-in.

It's so funny--I never knew this song actually had lyrics way back then. When I heard the anime version I lost my mind. . .
Awesome soundtrack to a classic game. . .

I could never get past the first few levels of this game. But I guess when you're 5 years old its a difficult thing to do.
