Get ready for one-of-a-kind portion of classics from Bitwave – all-time arcade legends are now available on GOG!

If you’re in a retro mood, these titles will truly take you back in time – a good dose of action top-down shooters that all take original game features and enhance them to the PC experience. Let those classic Japanese arcade games flood you with nostalgia, alongside the sounds of old-school soundtracks by Masahiro Yuge, Tatsuya Uemura and Toshiyaki Tomizawa! Whether you’ll fight through a horde of aliens, blast battalions of tanks, or defend the galaxy from space pirates; you’ll surely feel like a child again.

Truxton, Twin Cobra, Out Zone and Zero Wing, now on GOG!

GOGer: How long for the 4-pack?

There is no pack yet.

Tfw when GOG sells the version of Zero Wing without the memetic translation.

Toaplan, that's was probably the most hardcore bunch of devs for arcade scene back then.

OutZone is an absolute gem out of these 4, meme potential aside. Seems like a legit release to me, with a lot of care put in.

Looks great nice to see dome more arcade games here.

I see GOG still doesn't receive any more good old games. =P

Ancient-Red-Dragon: Why do modern ports of old arcade games almost always have extremely annoying and immersion-breaking borders and/or black bars at the sides of the screen, which were definitely not present in the original versions?

That stuff drives me nuts and make such ports become unplayable for me. I really wish devs would stop doing that, and just make the games display in such a way that they take up the entire full screen, just like the original versions did.
Play on original hardware then. The original arcade games usually weren't made on wide screen devices. So making them fill the whole screen on modern PCs is actually less like the original than putting a digital bezel on the screen, since the original hardware most definitely had a physical bezel painted in a similar fashion.

Does the GOG version even include that cut scene? Oh well, I prefer the Invasion of the Gabber Robots version anyway.

This is the remaster of the arcade-version;
the visible "CATS" is (Sega) Mega Drive exclusive.

Because Nintendo snagged the Mega Drive-emulation into their "Switch Online Expansion Pack" on June 30th 2022:
