This release has an outstanding pedigree, pure legends, is a must-have. This is my jam, newer releases of products of that era. That's what I aspire release as dev, even if is a niche and not mass market, this is the kind of games I understand the most and love to make.
This is exactly how an NES shooter should be! It looks and plays fantastic! I hope Cat Hui Trading decides to do more games and I woud love to see a platformer made by them.
This looks like fun. I myself haven't played much "Zanac," but I have played "GUN NAC" and "Guardian Legend," so it's cool seeing elements from those two - especially in a side scroller. I do like the variable difficulty setting which will add to the replayability. Among the homebrews out there, I think this is definitely one to pick up.
That's where the split is done between the gameplay zone and the hud. Could have been done a bit better to hide the graphical glitches but you can see those kind of effects on a lot of nes games.
Outstandingly awesome NES game it looks almost like a Turbo Duo shooter. My favorite NES shooter has to be Abadox. Good playthrough and cool video John!👍 Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year 2025!🎄
The NES still holds up to this day really. That little grey box that changed the home market forever. Cool game too.
I agree, the NES was amazing!
Kitty in manual got me. :)
Great-looking game. I love the pace and concept. Kudos!
Glad you like it!
Wow high quality stuff!
Looks and sounds great. Thx for reviewing this John, I just preordered !
The music is awesome
But lets be honest here, THE IMMORTAL JOHN HANCOCK IS THE STUNNING ONE HERE. Merry Xmas.

Game looks good. I agree that first level background with the dark city looks cool.
The detail on that last boss is awesome, I paused the video for a second just to admire it
It really is a great piece of art.
This looks awesome! Wish they had just a rom option though..
This game looks pretty fantastic! The gameplay and sound is good! And the graphics are incredible for an 8 bit release!
Couldn't agree more!
It's not "Section Z" but I like it 👍
Those bosses look amazing and the background almost look like sega Genesis 😮
Unbelievable 🤪
Another game with John Hancock
Nice looking game looks very fun as well. It's so cool to see new carts coming for these systems that are decades old 😊

It is definitely a great blend of those games.
This looks really fantastic.
I agree!
You think this game will work on the hyperkin retron av?
Looks amazing. I wonder what's causing the row of pixel garbage at the bottom of the screen.
I’m running on an AVS aftermarket console so might be that

Some sounds are very similar like In gunac

Thanks! Abadox is a great one!

Is there slowdown on original hardware?
The game is meh, no parallax scrolling makes the game bland
