We've just updated Out Zone, Zero Wing, Truxton, and Twin Cobra with the third patch! This time we're adding, by request of the community, a brand new version of Out Zone that we've named common.
Back in the day, Out Zone was modified over time, and several versions exist. Our "normal" version that was part of the release on February 14 turned out not to be the one many players are familiar with. "Common" is similar to the "hard" version already included but has differences we hope you'll enjoy.
The full Japanese ending is translated to English when playing in a region other than Japan
The full set of secrets
Its own set of boss achievements and leaderboards
Several sound effects in the original arcade versions were improved between the “normal” and “common” version
