I never though searching "Zero Wing" on Yahoo! Shopping would work but... hey!

http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/pcbs/pcb/Zero_Wing_458.html

But that's the coin-op arcade version I think. Try putting in "Zero Wing" in search engines. I glanced at the results and I think there are some Zero Wing roms but I don't think I saw any actual results where you can get a 'copy'.

Ah, and I don't believe a Zero Wing thread can go past 5 posts without somebody quoting, "All your base are belong to us"--there you go. ;D

A rom is a copy of a console-based video game, usually for one of the older systems, that can be played on a computer using an emulator. However, I don't think that it is advisable to post rom links in the forum. If I'm not mistaken, it is probably against forum policy. *checks*

While it is not explicitly stated in the rules, roms are illegal (although some rom sites claim that it is ok if you own the original, which you obviously do not, in this case), and as such, posting links to them could cause a lot of problems. If you really want to find them, all you have to do is use a search engine, and then no one else has to suffer the possible repercussions.

I actually have played Zero Wing. It was decently fun, reminiscent of R-Type.
