”All your money are belong to me!”

Zero Wing is a Mega Drive/Genesis shooter developed by Toaplan in 1991 that features one of the greatest FM metal soundtracks on the console. The Mega Drive European port of the game got famous from a bad English translation in the game’s intro screen. ”All Your Base Are Belong To Us”.

STORY: 

So basically there is this big naughty intergalactic space bully called (Cats) who is terrorising the galaxy and he intercepts and attacks your ship and tells you that he is taking over and that you have only a few minutes to live (make your time) with the control system breaking down and in a last minute effort, you abandon ship and jump into the small ZIG space craft and exit out just before the ship explodes.

Your mission is to simply destroy all of the bully’s 8 space stations hidden around the galaxy and return home. Depending on which difficulty you choose, (Easy) (Normal) or (Hard) you get a different ending when finishing the game.

What’s In This Base?

• Always have level 4 weapons.
• Infinite lives.
• Faster ship.
• Debug Menu – Pause the game and press the C button.

After pausing the game and pressing the C button to bring up the test mode screen:

• Active – Press right = 0 invincibility off – 1 invincibility on.

INSTRUCTIONS: Inside the ZIP file you’ll find the IPS patch, it is in Lunar IPS format and simply needs to be patched to the (European) version of Zero Wing.
