A classic retro game from the 80s has been brought back to life in the form of "ZANAC MSX." Originally released for the MSX computer in 1986, this shoot’em up game is now available for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad platforms.

Considered one of the finest shooters developed by Compile, "ZANAC MSX" challenges players to navigate through all eight stages using their own skills and strategies.

It's fair to say that the era of MSX shooting games reached its pinnacle with this title. Back in the day, features like the Auto Level Controller and high-speed smooth scrolling were considered cutting-edge innovations.
