Out Zone

this is a really fun game

Old school classic, good i you are into such things

gooood!!!!

My impressions video of the collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy2rDB_QYrE Really, your best bet if you want to play these games is to grab the whole collection as it's by far the better value, so that's what I'm talking about here. Toaplan is well known among the shmup community. Despite their relatively short life as a developer, they cranked out some of the best shmups of their time and despite helping creating one of the OG memes with "All your base are belong to us.", their games stand up well on their own merits. It's great to see Bitwave finally bringing some of these classics to an easily playable format on PC. The collection brings a ton of excellent quality of life improvements, including save states, online leaderboards, stat views, rewinding, assists and a practice mode, a ton of video options and even the ability to select different regions for each of the games. Sadly, there's no online co-op, but with Steams Remote Play feature, you can easily do it yourself and I can confirm it works well. While this isn't as technically impressive as some collections by M2 and the like, this is a very well put together package that has many of the extra features enthusiasts or those wanting to practice for competitions would want. Each of these games are unique in what they offer. Three are vertical and Zero Wing is horizontal, All but one are air combat based, while Out Zone involves controlling ground units, more akin to Akari Warriors or Jackal. They were all originally arcade games so as expected, they're challenging, but reward practice and persistence. With unlimited credits, you can see your way to the end of these in less than an hour each, but the real appeal of shmups is learning the levels and enemies and trying to get the best score, while chasing the elusive 1 Credit Clear. If you're one of those types of players, you will get many hours out of this package. Personally, I can't tell any difference between these versions and playing them in MAME so I think enthusiasts who want as close to the original experience as possible will be satisfied with this. The shmup genre has had a bit of a rekindling on PC in the last few years and it's great to see some classics from one of the genre's legendary developers finally coming out here and with a bunch of enhancements to boot. Those who love shmups and want to play some of the greatest ones should definitely grab this.

Toaplan is pretty well known for difficult yet incredibly fun arcade games. Particularly shoot 'em ups. Out Zone is no exception save it is a run-n-gun. Even then, it has a lot of Toaplan's shooter DNA in it. I was blown away in just my first couple games of Out Zone. I enjoy games like Commando, Ikari Warriors, Gun.Smoke and Shock Troopers. Out Zone is right up there with these games. With the exception of Shock Troopers, I think I like Out Zone more. The game mechanics of Out Zone are you have a gun and limited screen clearing bombs. The gun can receive upgrades in both type and power. The two most common being a machine gun and forward facing spread shot. However, there are additional super upgrades such as a squadron of drones, a shield, and a flame thrower type weapon. My favorite was the super ball which spins around your character delivering devastating damage. There's also speed increasing pick ups too. To keep the player moving, their character has an energy meter that slowly ticks down. This can be replenished by collecting E pick ups through out the level. And the player is going to have to get a few of these to make it to the end of level boss with enough time to defeat it. Afterward, the player's energy bar is refilled for the next level. The levels themselves feel pretty short. Though, that could because I was having such a blast playing as well as almost speed running through them. As once I was in the zone, I felt nearly unstoppable. The game also feels pretty generous with extends, but being a Toaplan game, the game features check points instead of respawns. Which I don't know if that is such a bad thing as if often sends the player back to a place to re-arm a little bit. Though, it still can take a little while to recover to getting back to fully powered up. The end of level bosses didn't feel as difficult to me as the Toaplan shooters I've played. To be sure, they're no cakewalk and made all the more difficult if you don't have many upgrades. Which it can be your energy meter that proves more difficult than the boss itself if you aren't aggressive. It's rare that I like a game, even arcade games, so quickly. Yet, I really had a lot of fun with my limited play time with Out Zone. When I think Taoplan, I think Truxton. Which is fun, but it's also not very high on my list of favorite shmups. I think Out Zone is likely to be my favorite Taoplan game ever. And at this point, I've played a fair amount of their catalog.

이젠 정말 나온지 엄청 오래된 고전 게임이지만, 다시 스팀에서 즐길 수 있게 되었습니다. 어떤 오락실에선 사운드가 제대로 들리지도 않았고 어떤 오락실에선 깨진 그래픽이 나오기도 했었죠... 이제. 정식으로 값을 지불하고 즐기게 되었습니다만, 여전히 스토리에 대한 착각(?)은 어쩔 수 없는 것 같습니다. 어린 시절엔 영어도 일본어도 몰랐었기에 게임이 돌아가는 것만으로 스토리를 상상하곤 했었죠. 제가 떠올린 것은... 주인공이 극악한 범죄자로 누명을 쓴 상태에 지구인들의 외계 행성 침략 정복 작전을 위한 외계인 박멸을 시키기 위해 에너지 제한을 달고 적들의 기지를 쑥대밭으로 만들며 처참한 인생을 보내는 가 싶은 꿈도 희망도 없는(...) 그런 이야기지 않을까 했었죠. 하필 이 게임의 문제점은 다른 전투 벨런스 디자인들 보다 시간제한으로 작용하는 에너지의 고갈 속도가 지나치게 빠른 탓에 빠르게 진행하면서 늦지 않게 {E} 아이템을 먹어 에너지를 회복 해내지 않으면 에너지 고갈로 사망 해버렸으니... 서두르다 터지기도 쉬운데 그나마 봄이 굉장히 너그럽게 주어지지만, 이는 실수를 커버하는 것만이 아니라 전략적인 사용으로 전방 고정 3연발사 무기의 단점을 극복하는데 쓰거나 아니면 방향전환이 자유로운 단일 공격형 무기의 사용 중 범위나 편한 사격각이 나오지 않을 때. 적을 부수기 위한 용도로 쓰게 됩니다. 거기에 {SP} 아이템의 존재를 알면 생각 보다 공략법을 숙지하고 게임 난이도를 낮춘 채로 진행을 한다면 "어? 내가 알던 토아 플랜 게임이 맞아???" 하는 걸 느끼실 수 있을겁니다. 네. 저희 어린 시절의 소년 소녀들에게 업주의 난이도 농간으로 인해 고통을 받아왔던 것이지. 실제 게임은 난이도를 너무 높인 상태로 플레이를 하면 여유가 너무 없습니다만,... 충분히 낮춰 플레이를 하면 난이도가 생각 이상으로 양심적인 수준으로 낮아져 정말 즐기기도 좋았는데 이건 한국 아케이드 게임 산업 업주들의 전반적인 문제점이기도 했다 생각이 듭니다. 너무 어렵게만 해놓으니 즐긴다는 의미로 게임을 하기 보단 효율에 치중한 플레이를 강요 받았었으니... 나약한 자는 오락실에서 살아남을 수 없었던 시절이기에 야속함을 느낍니다. 이젠. 난이도를 낮춘다고 뭐라 할 사람 따윈 없지요. 고전 게임 쉽게 좀 즐겨보렵니다. ESC 키를 눌러서 나오는 메뉴는 생각 이상으로 게임의 세부적인 부분을 즐기기 좋게 만들어 주니 잘 건드려봅시다. 특히 SP 무기. 탱탱볼(?)을 1스테이지 부터 즐기니 또 다른 즐거움이 있군요.

çocukluğumda atari salonlarında severek oynadığım tek oyundur kendisi. çoğu kişi kof falan takılırken ben bunu oynardım. burda yakalayınca anılar canlandı. Müziklerini çok beğeniyorum. özellikle 3. bosstan sonra 4. bölümün müziği acayip hoşuma gidiyor.

outzone is the best toaplan game

Guy on the cover is kinda hot. That aside I really liked this one. Good arcade fun with features for people like me who suck at games!
