Zoop (E)
Publisher: Viacom New Media
Fast-paced action-puzzle game where the player eliminates colored shapes that are approaching his alter ego, another colored shape, before they reach the top, ala Tetris. In order to eliminate the other shapes, you must point your piece at it and 'fire'. If the shape is the same color as your piece, the shape is eliminated, as well as all of the shapes of the same color behind it, until your piece hits a piece of a different color. If the shape is of a different color, or it is hit when collecting a line of similar shapes, your piece exchanges colors with the shape.

Zero Wing (E)
Genre: Action
Publisher: Toaplan Co., Ltd.
Year: 1991
Zero Wing is an horizontal SHMUP where the player is in control of a ZIG, an escape pod released after its main ship was attacked and destroyed by CATS, bent on taking over the World. Like most games in the genre, there are three color-coded weapons: red (scatter), green (homing) and blue (lasers). Each weapon has three levels of power, and to obtain those, similar upgrades must be collected sequentially. However, what makes the game unique is the ability to use a traction beam to trap an enemy and then throw him against his peers, destroying them. The game (or the European PAL version) is best known for being the origin of the infamous "All Your Base" 2001 Internet meme.
