About Out Zone

“THE SUPER SPACE SNIPER COMES. NOBODY CAN SURVIVE.”



Toaplan’s Out Zone is back in action and reloaded with modern features, like online leaderboards, arcade-accurate emulation, quick saves, and the brand-new beginner mode. As one of the most celebrated run and gun shooters in arcade history, its hellish challenges will get your blood pumping if you have the skills to match!

Countless alien invasions of Earth have left humankind on the verge of extinction. You must plunge headfirst into battle as a world-class cyborg mercenary in a last-ditch effort to overthrow the alien threat!

ORIGINAL GAME FEATURES:

  • Run and gun your way through hordes of enemies in this vertical shoot 'em up!
  • Go at it solo, or join forces with a buddy in co-op mode!
  • Master a unique weapon system with omnidirectional lasers, straight-shooting shotguns, and special weapons like the Super Burner and the Super Ball to obliterate the alien attackers!
  • Stay alive and alert by keeping an eye on your constantly depleting battery!
  • Feel your heart pump to Tatsuya Uemura's original soundtrack!

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Minimal Input Lag: Emulation, input processing, and rendering all complete on the same frame.
  • Quick Save using F1-F10, Reload with Shift+ F1-F10
  • Online leaderboards for Single Credit, No Assist, and Assisted plays.
  • Instrument panels with extra gameplay information and artwork.

Tough as nails vertically scrolling run and gun. While the challenge is high, the game remains fun and engaging thanks to the fast paced and colorful visuals. This port is surprisingly well made. It offers TATE support as well as various visual filters. I was particularly happy with the excellent CRT option, but PIXEL and STEP are also available. I can definitely recommend fans of old school shooters check this one out. One of Toaplan's best!

This is perhaps not just one of Toaplan's greatest games but also one of the best I've played in general. Everything is fantastic from the level design, the music and the gameplay. I'm still unsure if this port is 100% accurate to the original after all of those updates but I'd say this is still absolutely worth getting if you want one of the best run and guns out there.
