Zanac (U)

Zanac is a shoot 'em up video game developed by Compile and published in Japan by Pony Canyon and in North America by FCI. It was released for the MSX computer, the Family Computer Disk System, the Nintendo Entertainment System, and for the Virtual Console. Players fly a lone starfighter, dubbed the AFX-6502 Zanac, through twelve levels; their goal is to destroy the System —a part-organic, part-mechanical entity bent on destroying mankind. Zanac was developed by main core developers of Compile, including Masamitsu "Moo" Niitani, Koji Teramoto, and Takayuki Hirono. The game is known for its intense and fast-paced gameplay, level of difficulty, and music which seems to match the pace of the game.
