Zero Point
Zero Point is an arcade action game released in 1998 by Unico. Players control a character navigating stages filled with enemies, using a combination of shooting and movement to clear each level. The game uses standard arcade controls, typically a joystick and buttons for attacking and jumping. Stages present waves of enemies and obstacles that players must overcome to progress. The game targets a score-based play style common to arcade cabinets of the era, rewarding players for efficient enemy elimination. As stages advance, enemy patterns and hazards increase in difficulty. Zero Point fits within the run-and-gun or action shooter style familiar to arcade audiences, offering direct combat-focused gameplay on dedicated arcade hardware.
