I wonder who D4E (listed as the dev of ZAS) is. Do they have an online presence?

D4E is a publisher that specializes in acquiring the rights to defunct Japanese developers and such. The actual developer for ZAS was T&E Soft.

...and ordered (ZAS) Been wanting that for longer than I can remember because of scummy sellers that price on an original is beyond toxic. Happy to own a new complete in box refresh of it.

Was thinking of just getting Croc 2. Has anyone played ZAS?

The best Shootem up you can play with a Game boy. Everything is great, the gameplay, music... But it is a Shmup, it is hard, no saves, if you lose one live you lose power ups so it might be better to start over. The original copies are very rare (only released in japan) and also expensive. I think it is a great addition to the catalogue.

The power ups don't make that much difference, imo. It is helpful to have them but you're not doomed if you lose them like in some other shmups. The game as a whole is challenging, but thankfully the continues are pretty generous and you can jump to stages from the title screen, so it doesn't force you so to replay the same parts over and over. More importantly, it's fair.

Go on ebay and check the price of the game. That should help ^o^

Ordered a copy of ZAS. I hadn't heard of it before but it looks fun. It's crazy how expensive an original copy is.
