Zaku: All new, all original shooter for Atari Lynx - released!

Hello, everyone.

Many of you have already come to know Super Fighter Team for our quality game releases for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. Once again, we would like to thank you for your interest and support. Without the interest of those who care deeply about retro gaming, we would not be able to continue with our dreams of providing great new games for classic gaming systems.

I am happy to tell you that Saturday, October 24th marked the beginning of a great new adventure. After six years in development, we at Super Fighter Team were proud to announce the release of Zaku for the Atari Lynx. This all new, all original horizontal shooter has an exciting feature to complement every aspect of the Lynx's unique hardware, being fun and entertaining the entire time.



The game features:

* Five worlds with multiple stages each for a total of over 16 stages to battle through.
* Detailed artwork full of parallax scrolling for the most immersive experience possible.
* Constant 60FPS gameplay for the smoothest Lynx experience yet!
* Enemies and bosses that fight back to your playing style.
* Multiple difficulties to challenge any player.

Once again, we have done our best to ensure only the highest quality product. Zaku comes complete with the following:

* 4-Meg game card with authentic plastic shell.
* 31 page full color instruction manual printed in English and French.
* Sturdy cardstock box with slot to hold and protect the game card.

If this sounds interesting to you, I invite you to take a look at the game by visiting its official website. Screenshots, a sample video and more information await you @ http://www.zaku-lynx.com/

Zaku is now available at the cost of only $40.00 + shipping and handling. We proudly accept orders from anywhere in the world.

In closing I would like to thank you for your time and attention, and I invite you to contact me by e-mail directly should you have any questions or comments about any of our games.

Have a nice day -- and never let dreams die!

 

Wow sweet.

 

That looks pretty cool. Kinda reminds me of Parodius, but it's still original. Nice work!

 

Congratulations on finishing your project, hope it sells good !

If I had an Atari Lynx I'd buy one copy

 

they had it at the Fall Cleveland CCAG Show.
Feel a bit like zonk
wish they had some copies to sell.

 

Wow, it looks great and the gameplay video is awesome! I'd definitely get one if I still had my Lynx...

 

I ordered it today, pretty excited to bust out the Lynx again. Anyone have any pics of what the official Lynx Dev kit looks like? I assume it runs on an Atari ST system.

 

The Lynx dev kit ran on an Amiga. Seems weird until you realise the designer of the Lynx, Rob Mical also helped design the Amiga.

 

Its the game I got a Lynx for and I am anxiously waiting for my copy to arrive

I don't have a lynx, but that looks like a good game.

how the hell did they learn to use all those custom chips?

 

Looks great, really. Although it came out in October already I didn't know about it. But too expensive for my taste.

 

Hello

Just to said i buy this game and he is really good it's like an professional edition, he is no perfect (no animation for the héros for exemple) but he is probably one of the bast game of this console

 

Time to break-out the e-bay gift cards that ive been accumlating for the last 3 years and get a lynx.

However when I first read the title... Zaku I thought to myself a Mobile Suit: Gundam universe game that I have never heard of before.

Defintaly looking forward to checking this game out,

Hello everyone.

I was recently featured on a listener request episode of the "RetroGaming with Racketboy" podcast, where I was interviewed about Zaku, Beggar Prince, the future of Super Fighter Team, and et cetera. My interview appears in the second half of the show.

I would say it reminds me STRONLGY of PC Denjin / Air Zonk, which was obviously the template of Zaku.
