Zed Blade (Machine Type: Arcade)
Zed Blade, also known as Operation Ragnarok in Japan, is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up arcade game developed by NMK and published by SNK in 1994. It was released for the Neo Geo arcade system, a popular platform for many classic arcade games.
Zed Blade features traditional side-scrolling shooter gameplay, where players control a spacecraft and must navigate through various levels filled with enemies, obstacles, and boss battles.
Although Zed Blade wasn’t as commercially successful as some other arcade titles from the same era, it has gained a cult following among shoot ’em up enthusiasts. Its engaging gameplay, customization options, and challenging levels have made it a memorable entry in the genre.
Originally an arcade game, Zed Blade has since been re-released on various platforms, including modern consoles and digital storefronts, allowing a new generation of players to experience the game.
If you’re interested in classic arcade shooters, Zed Blade offers a nostalgic trip back to the 90s with its distinctive style and gameplay mechanics.
