It was a great remix on top of that too - they recreated those synth sounds really well. I never see anyone mention that - especially the Natols section
This is a great OST but I can't help but laugh as soon as I hear the intro theme. It's impossible not to be reminded of the corny mistranslation when I hear it.
@@tessatessa3894 the PC Engine version is a lazy port with boring, easy gameplay that will make you snore. The enemies move slowly, their projectiles ever more so. The bosses are pushovers most of the time, especially the final boss. The CD music, while decent, isn't nearly as adrenaline-pumping as the Genesis soundtrack. It would've been better had it gotten a release on HuCard and came with a PC Engine wavetable soundtrack.
YES YES THANK YOU!! I'VE BEEN TOTALLY ADDICTED TO THIS SOUNDTRACK FOR LIKE A MONTH NOW AND FINALLY I CAN HEAR IT IN CRISP, CLEAR AUDIO! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I'd totally forgotten about this game! Thanks for the upload, this amazing soundtrack now feels like it was yesterday when I first nodded my head along to it.
Kinda sad, but heartwarming at the same time. In the cinematic, accompanying it, the damaged ZIG, with clouds of debris around it, is shown getting rescued by some capital ship.
🙌🎧 Just ordered vinyl of this soundtrack on limited run games website. Remember playing this for maybe hour at someone’s house as kid. still music sticks with me not person’s house.
Here's my personal tier list for all the stage music in this game. Like my comment if you agree with my list, and respond and insult me if you disagree! S: Stage 2, 6 and 8 A: Stage 1 and 5 B: Stage 3, 4, and 7
Amazing ost here! That twanga bass sounds just like Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. The part at 7:17 sounds just like early Iron Maiden no joke. Cube/Dougen Shibuya
The Genesis was weird like this. Either you got ear splitting noise or life defining sound tracks. Something about that Yamaha chip was hard to master. But worth it.
Well, mainly Western studios didn't have as much mastery of FM as the Japanese ones, although there are exceptions like Matt Furniss's 50 soundtracks, Mega Turrican, Zyrinx soundtracks and some other soundtracks made with GEMS (a great tool with wasted potential), although it must also be taken into account that Arcade also has soundtracks with FM chips and they sound worse than several Genesis games and that Genesis audio emulation was poor for almost two decades. Genesis is not the first nor the last system to have a Yamaha FM chip.
There are no FM drums here, the drums here are PCM and in fact easily 80% of MD soundtracks use the DAC for sampled drums, many MD soundtracks are not 100% FM.
Honestly, had I known about shooters like this back in the day, I wouldn't have been an SNES guy. This game is incredibly impressive graphically and the audio is through the roof. Might be my favorite Genny soundtrack. Competes with DKC, and has aged better graphically. SNES might have been the more modern console and a precursor of modern games, but this old horse now prefers the older game styles. The PSX-era took "modern" gaming to even greater heights of length, grinding, overly long and convoluted story-telling, simplified (or overly complex) mechanics...basically accentuating the worst of the SNES era rather than the best. Now I spend most of my gaming time mining the past (with a little dedicated to Nintendo's excellent modern output, and unique indies like those put out by Inti-Creates).
"Cats, the boastful space pirate leader, terrorizes the milky way. You must pilot the last Milky Way gunship into battle and stop Cats and his space pirates!" My translation from the finnish (Our galaxy's name in finnish is called the bird's track)
Let me try german to english: "Cats, the leader of a gang of wild pirates, terrorizes the galaxy. You are the pilot of the last battle ship in the milky way and you have to stop Cats and his robbers!"
wow wow woooooh Yamaha baby by seeeeegaaa 😁😁😁😁 im for 06:16 stage 2 langrous from morocco hello to all gen / md fans like me thank you sega for the sega megadrive genisis in 2019 from an old owner of genisis in morocco north afriqua land of berbers
Narrator: In A.D. 2101 War Was Beginning. Captain: What Happen? Mechanic: Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb. Operator: We get signal. Captain: What! Operator: Main screen turn on. Captain: It's You!! CATS: How are you gentlemen!! CATS: All Your Base Are Belong to Us. CATS: You are on the way to destruction. Captain: What you say!! CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time. CATS: Ha ha ha ha.... Operator: Captain! Captain: Take Off Every 'ZIG'!! Captain: You know what you doing. Captain: Move 'ZIG'. Captain: For Great Justice.
the rock music part from invasion of the gabber robots/all your base always sounded like it came from a big long boss battle, did that guy seriously take like 30 seconds from the intro and make it the base for an entire track? makes it even better
I guess it's because it's not only one of the first memes to exist, but also the first meme to refer to history. For a meme that spawned around 1999-2001, it feels really odd.
Eat that Sega does what arcadon't What an epic ost flawless use of yamaha by sega composer they kick arcade ost Ayuz sega from north africa Megadrive / genisis = rockn roll baaby

Let's be honest, this music being so good is half the reason the meme ever took off.
It was a great remix on top of that too - they recreated those synth sounds really well. I never see anyone mention that - especially the Natols section
I'm staring at the boxart and I notice the ship has exhaust ports, cannons, a cockpit, and even a fin. NOT A SINGLE WING.... ZERO WINGS... mind blown.
Well yeah. Turns out you don't need wings in space.
@@AndrewBlechinger They're surprised because they figured out why the game is called "Zero Wing", probably after a long time.
YOURE A WITCH! BURN HIM!
@@AndrewBlechinger most of the game takes place in atmospheric conditions, so I dunno what you're talking about.
Holy shit
Gentlemen, someone set us up a killer soundtrack. So good.
My god this slaps.
0:44-1:23 is fantastic, I wish this looped for longer
It loops when you play it on the properly configured player.
ALL YOUR SOUNDTRACK ARE BELONG TO US!
@Sadistic Mashocist ? Did someone break into your account?
Man, that FM synth guitar that comes in at 7:17 is **INTENSE** :O
Man, you can really tell this 16 bit band really had something to prove back in the day.
This is a great OST but I can't help but laugh as soon as I hear the intro theme. It's impossible not to be reminded of the corny mistranslation when I hear it.
Come for the terrible translation, stay for the awesome music.
yep the translation hurt the epicness of the soundtrack
Benjamin Owuye Jagun yep i'm a snes fan this and streets of rage sick stuff
@@SamuraiTacos1 To be honest if not for the legendary bad translation we may never have found the soundtrack either. xD
vClaw's Sharp Tips yep
Babylonian Nights is a masterpiece, i expecially love how they worked the main theme in.
all the old memes aside, this is truly legendary game OST from 16 bit era. gotta mention gynoug and gaiares OSTs as well
This OST is fucking epic. The megadrive sountrack is best than the arcade one. Holy shit stage 2 music is so gooooood.
Zero Wing for megadrive version is the best. Amazing work
Meet ZIG, the Flying Thumb of Devastation
Memes aside this is a quality game
And hard as fuck.
@@tessatessa3894 Like any shmup of that time. But yeah Toaplan makes them hard enough
@@tessatessa3894 well, if you don't count the PC Engine version.
I only played the Sega Genesis version. But I'll try, thanks.

One of the best OST on Sega Megadrive !!!!!!!!
YES
YES
THANK YOU!!
I'VE BEEN TOTALLY ADDICTED TO THIS SOUNDTRACK FOR LIKE A MONTH NOW AND FINALLY I CAN HEAR IT IN CRISP, CLEAR AUDIO! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
This OST got some set up us the bomb all your bass.
they needed music good enough to make gamers fight CATS, and the composer delivered nothin but heat
All thanks to Tatsuya Uemura and Noriyuki Iwadare
Take off every 'zig'
For great justice!
Move 'zig'
You know what you doing
Not my 'zig'!

I'd totally forgotten about this game! Thanks for the upload, this amazing soundtrack now feels like it was yesterday when I first nodded my head along to it.
Everyone in the western world born after 1960 knows this game from the first two tracks
New Day For Me (Stage 2) still gives me a rush whenever I hear it, even 33 years later.
Thank you very much. Ending 3 is so beautiful.
Kinda sad, but heartwarming at the same time. In the cinematic, accompanying it, the damaged ZIG, with clouds of debris around it, is shown getting rescued by some capital ship.
This is a prime example of epic Japanese chip music.
And epic English translation
This game and Musha Aleste have the best OSTs, after Thunder Force IV, for this type of vgm metal genre imo.
The stage 8 song, is DOPE !! It's hard to believe that is a FM sound.
🙌🎧 Just ordered vinyl of this soundtrack on limited run games website. Remember playing this for maybe hour at someone’s house as kid. still music sticks with me not person’s house.
MOVE ZIG! FOR THE GREAT JUSTICE!
dude, this is one of these soundtracks that would have fucking blowed my mind as a kid - so cool!
No One
Not a Single entity in the cosmos
Not even Cats :
Zero Wing : Here do the Can Can !!!
Love that final song. Brings back childhood memories
New Day for Me🎶
Best song stage-wise!
7:18-Am, yum, am, yum yum! Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Puffy AmiYumi. Am, yum yum! Yum, am, yum, yum yum! Hi Hi Hi! Hi, Hi Puffy AmiYumi am! Am, yum, am, yum yum! Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Puffy AmiYumi. Am, yum yum! Yum, am, yum, yum yum! Hi Hi Hi! Hi, Hi Puffy AmiYumi yum!
I guess you can say that Iwadare let Toaplan use his driver and decided not to credit himself in the game for little to no reason.
We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese. Also, for some reason, that music makes me think of Reimu and Meira's dialogue.
Legend, do you plan to remix Hellfire OST? It begs for sampled drums
Great soundtrack! Nice job there!
In AD2101, war was spaghetti!
Someone has set up the bomk'b
All your pizza are belong to us
Somebody set us up the PINGAS!
How are you gentlemen!! All this soundtrack are amazing.
The first time I’ve heard the original music. A sick day in Illinois and I find this gem. Maybe I will get well soon.
For great justice!
The soundtrack are so incredible so powerful so Amazing, Megadrive best game machine of all time
The best 2nd stage music ever.
All All good stages 😂
14:53 The stereo is really good here.
Dem toms
All of them.
Here's my personal tier list for all the stage music in this game. Like my comment if you agree with my list, and respond and insult me if you disagree!
S: Stage 2, 6 and 8
A: Stage 1 and 5
B: Stage 3, 4, and 7
For great Justice...take off every Zig!
I am amazed at how different this sounds than all the other recordings I have from emulated sources.
Amazing ost here! That twanga bass sounds just like Steve Harris of Iron Maiden.
The part at 7:17 sounds just like early Iron Maiden no joke.
Cube/Dougen Shibuya
Interestingly enough, a lot of video game music is heavily inspired from heavy metal, it's just different "instruments".
@@amdstrollo3074 This is definitly heavy metal
@@amdstrollo3074 th-cam.com/video/QmSCCenjhSk/w-d-xo.html
Heavy metal as well as progressive rock.
Listen to Deep Purple's April and tell me you don't hear the dungeon music from Zelda 1
The riff at 14:53 sounds quite AC/DC-ish. Some songs clearly have some '70s heavy metal influences.
Incredible OST and I cleared the game last weekend.Great Game and I have played japanese version.
This OST is fire
'Dat bass.
Nice port and classic soundtrack.
A new upload. Great!
an dope underrated gem
Bring the game back and rerecord this amazing progrock soundtrack!
(I'm so sorry)
How are you gentlemen?
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
Someone had to!
What you say?
YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION
The only worthwhile meme, as far as I am concerned :D
No need to be sorry
People tell me The Witcher 3 has the best OST ever.......I make them listen to this.
All your rad tunes are belong to us, Zero Wing.

The Genesis was weird like this. Either you got ear splitting noise or life defining sound tracks. Something about that Yamaha chip was hard to master. But worth it.
Well, mainly Western studios didn't have as much mastery of FM as the Japanese ones, although there are exceptions like Matt Furniss's 50 soundtracks, Mega Turrican, Zyrinx soundtracks and some other soundtracks made with GEMS (a great tool with wasted potential), although it must also be taken into account that Arcade also has soundtracks with FM chips and they sound worse than several Genesis games and that Genesis audio emulation was poor for almost two decades. Genesis is not the first nor the last system to have a Yamaha FM chip.
Same One is giving my ears a nice massage.
Somebody set up us the bomb! D:
*looks at subscription feed* Yes...YEEESSSS!!
0:47 Crying was beginning
Pretty good soundtrack. I like the Introduction Part 1, Stage 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 themes. I also like the FM drums. Good overall.
There are no FM drums here, the drums here are PCM and in fact easily 80% of MD soundtracks use the DAC for sampled drums, many MD soundtracks are not 100% FM.
@alexisynthfm1988 oh
Banging sound track
Someone set us up the bomb!
2:49 Kick, kick!
i had that game :'( great Music
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!
Honestly, had I known about shooters like this back in the day, I wouldn't have been an SNES guy. This game is incredibly impressive graphically and the audio is through the roof. Might be my favorite Genny soundtrack. Competes with DKC, and has aged better graphically.
SNES might have been the more modern console and a precursor of modern games, but this old horse now prefers the older game styles. The PSX-era took "modern" gaming to even greater heights of length, grinding, overly long and convoluted story-telling, simplified (or overly complex) mechanics...basically accentuating the worst of the SNES era rather than the best. Now I spend most of my gaming time mining the past (with a little dedicated to Nintendo's excellent modern output, and unique indies like those put out by Inti-Creates).
I don’t know how such an average game got such a great soundtrack, but I’m glad it did.

Just bought the boardgame Warp's Edge. This Soundtrack fits the game so well :D

If you are looking for the other section sampled in the Gabber Robots remix: Open Your Eyes 2:19
This will probably sound strange, but: It's so weird to think that this existed before the meme xD ..
yeah it does sound strange.
I guess it's because it's not only one of the first memes to exist, but also the first meme to refer to history. For a meme that spawned around 1999-2001, it feels really odd.
well, the meme is 'only' about 8 years after the game, but is now about 20 years (!) from the present day, so...
It does sound ahead of its time plus the whole synthwave fad came long after the meme.

So disappointed the Vinyl release was the arcade sound track
Not every time a home console version of an arcade game had the best music.
