Zero Team USA (set 1, US, Fabtek license)

Zero Team USA is a classic arcade side-scrolling beat 'em up, prominent in the genre from the early 90s. Players choose one of four available characters, each possessing a distinct fighting style and unique skill set: Speed with agile swiftness, Power with superior physical strength, Magic with unique long-range attack capabilities, and Defense with robust defensive prowess. The primary objective of the game is to navigate through diverse stages, confront and defeat countless enemies blocking the path, and ultimately defeat powerful end-of-stage bosses. The storyline revolves around rescuing kidnapped individuals, plunging players into an action-packed adventure.

In terms of gameplay mechanics, Zero Team USA offers basic attacks such as punches, kicks, jumps, and special skills that can be executed by combining button presses. Players can also perform powerful throws or jump attacks to control crowds of enemies. The two-player cooperative (co-op) ability is a highlight, allowing two players to coordinate and overcome more difficult challenges together. The pixel art graphics and characteristic arcade sounds of the era contribute to a nostalgic and engaging experience for fans of the genre.
