Play ZAS (Japan) Online
Your shots glow weirdly transparent as you weave between bullets, with mountains and cities sliding past at different speeds—until that brutal hitbox reminds you it's still a Game Boy shooter.
ZAS, released by T&E Soft for the Game Boy in 1992, is a horizontal shooter that arrived during the handheld's early life, a time when developers were still exploring what the hardware could do. It doesn't try to reinvent the genre, but it offers a solid, no-frills experience that feels very much of its era, built for quick sessions or longer commutes.
You pilot a ship through seven stages, firing at waves of enemies and dodging their patterned attacks. Your main weapon can be powered up, and you collect secondary options like homing missiles or wide shots to handle the increasing swarms. The screen scrolls steadily, forcing you to react quickly to obstacles and enemy formations. The challenge is consistent, sometimes unforgiving, but rarely feels unfair. Playing ZAS feels like a focused test of reflexes, a straightforward shoot 'em up that demands your full attention.
