Zanac

One of the first Complie games, released in 1986. The graphics are archaic, but the gameplay is fun and very advanced. In addition to the basic weapons, there are eight special weapons, each of which can be upgraded several times, and they are all different - Zanac can shoot in all directions, defend against enemy bullets, have powerful weapons and much more. There are many secrets in this game, including warps and secret lives. This game is also famous for its unique difficulty system, which adapts to the player - the number and difficulty of enemies depend on the player's actions. The game as a whole is difficult, but this is compensated for by a very large number of bonus lives, and at the end of the game the player receives points for each life saved. The principles established in Zanac were later applied to other similar games by Compile.
