OutZone is an awesome shoot them up.

The goal is simple, kill most of enemies possible without dying. You can die by enemy fire, or by falling in a hole or losing all your energy if you don't take the energy supply there is on the road (the energy is constantly decreasing as the time running out !!!).

There is 2 mains weapons in the game :

+A laser gun which fires at high rate but you can only shoot in one direction at a time.
+A three way plasma gun which fires in 3 directions at the same time providing a good covering of an area.

You can also pick different power ups and super bonus:

+Super Burner : a directional, limited range super power weapon. Very destructive, but forces the player to move close to the enemies. It is thus risky to use against end-of level bosses.

+Super Ball : a terrific weapon! A destructive energy ball circles around the player, then rushes up the top of the screen, unaffected by walls. Your best choice in any situation!

+Energy Extend : extend the energy bar.

+Shield : protect the player from enemy fire.

+Speed UP : increase the speed of the player.

+1UP : an additional life.
