Zero Gunner 2

Zero Gunner 2 is a top-down shooter first released in arcades in 2001. You pilot one of three attack helicopters and fight enemies approaching from every direction, using the Turn Marker system to change your direction and line up for attacks.

Helicopters and attacks

Each helicopter has an automatic normal shot, a sub-shot and a Drone Attack. Drone Attacks consume energy and deal heavy damage. The three aircraft and their attacks are:

• Comanche: Particle Laser sub-shot and Iron Pecker Drone Attack.
• Apache: Hyper Arrow sub-shot and Killer Ape Drone Attack.
• Hokum: Little Hound sub-shot and Hound Cluster Drone Attack.

The Turn Marker becomes the axis for your helicopter's change of direction when you place it. You can pick up P items to power up and E items to gain energy; E items are attracted to your helicopter while you are not firing. The game features bosses with transforming animations and 3D mechanical designs.

Settings and score attack

You can choose from seven difficulty levels, set the number of lives from 1 to 9 and choose from 0 to unlimited continues. Options also include normal and two additional screen filters, as well as configurable assignments for Shot, Turn Marker and Drone Attack.

Score Attack sets the difficulty and number of lives, then challenges you to compete for high scores. Online rankings let you compare scores with players worldwide and can be viewed from the options menu.
