Screenshots: « play/stop »
Scenario
The year is 2000 and a bit AD. The place is another dimension (the 12th, to be
precise), yet still sentient life goes on as normal. Guys hang around street corners,
economists predict growth next year, it always rains on bank holidays, and people
are still well into senseless violence. Which brings us very nicely to Zig Zag.
The game
As a trainee star pilot, you now face the ultimate test of mental and physical
agility... the awesome Matrix of Zog! Created to find the supreme star pilot,
it has yet to fulfill its purpose. Countless hopefuls have tried and failed
to find the Eight Crystals of Zog, and escape to whatever lies beyond, be it
the thirteenth dimension, awesome riches or a weekend for two in Bognor. Brace
yourself for the journey of a teatime, in which you'll meet hordes of deadly
alien beings and kill them. Fly through neuron-numbing puzzles, manoeuvre at
breakneck speed through catacombs of pure energy, and then go shopping! Yes,
it's all here, everything you ever wanted from a brill game and a stonking lot
more.
