Check it out -> http://www.zaku-lynx.com/screens.htm

 Lead programmer said the game was inspired by Air Zonk. Anyway, it looks like it's now complete and they have a video showing it off. Looks great :D

Goddamn. That looks great. There might be a reason to pull out the Lynx in the near future.

Zaku (and some other designs) reminded me of Warner Bros. toons.

That looks fantastic, though I'd say it's a bit more than simply 'inspired' by Zonk.  The only question now is when will the Turbo see a similarly polished, sexy, and new shmup?  :pray:

Hello, everyone.

I had meant to swing by here and post a reply in this thread much sooner, but it seems about a month rolled by before my account was approved. :-({|=

At any rate, I am proud to inform you all that Zaku was officially released on October 24, 2009. The public announcement went something like this:

i found it to be less intense than the Lords/Gate of Thunder style stuff im used to playing.


The art style and setting of the game are really awesome though.   It feels like Sonic mixed with Air Zonk

I wish I still had my Lynx, I'll have to get me one again some day.  I really want a Lynx II next time.

This looks great. I still have my Lynx 1 that my grandmother got me for Christmas of 1989 for around $200. I would have liked a Genesis instead at the time, but oh well. Too bad it is in bad shape. I need to fix the A/C adapter port and find/make a plastic outer screen as the old one is shattered. I still have Warbirds and California Games (favorite version).
