ZANAC for NES review

Classic Game Room reviews ZANAC for NES from FCI and Compile, a vertical scrolling space ship shooter released in 1986 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Zanac is a SHMUP with awesome music and a unique weapons power up system that defies ordinary. Collect numbers 1-7 (and upgrade them) to waste waves of enemies that come at you in oddball formations while spewing bullets all over the screen. Zanac is not for the casual shooter fan or those looking for a relaxing game. The adaptive A.I. learns how you play and evidently hates you (or at least it hates me) because it just goes crazy and fills the screen with enemies. SHMUP spaceship shooter fans may dig the challenge and unorthodox gameplay in Zanac that makes it unique in a sea of similar games. It may be rough around the edges but does pack cool ideas, solid gameplay and great music. This CGR review of Zanac for NES has Zanac gameplay from FCI and Compiles showing Nintendo Zanac game play in HD action. Zanac can also be found on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console for download.

First time I played this game was in 1989 and was BRUTAL, few shooters even new ones are as brutal as this one, and we are talking about a very old game. Its hard to believe someone could finish it the very first time bought since enemies are not fixed at all but the AI is variable and almost every time you play the game is like a different challenge, you cannot memoriza patterns and keep the rage AI under control is pretty difficult.

@indianwarning1 well i did, its not like i beat it the exact first time i played it, i used the standard secondary weapon, 0, the whole game and i did reset my NES several times to get a better start on the game, i can only beat games like these with the right start, and it took me awhile to beat the game, but i did beat it the day i bought it, im just good at dodging bullets, i can beat gradius in 1 life in arcade.

@y2k4ever1 no way you beat that game in one day...... anyone who has ever played this game will call you a liar on that!

[indianwarning1]

there will never be a more challenging game than this, and when you do beat it, it does feel like you just saved the universe!!! awesome game one of the best ever made!

[indianwarning1]

your full of it...... no way you beat the game in one day.... never believe this guy

[DoxiMoxi]

[y2k4ever1]
