Personal review
A large face fills the screen, takes aim, and fires a gun. Up pops the title screen branded with a big gun. For essentially what could be called a thinking man's platformer, Zillion has quite a flashy intro.
The game consists of a blue armour-clad guy, J.J., wandering around a giant underground maze searching for his buddies and a couple of floppies that'll blow the place up. You're not just limited to using a blue-haired hero; there's also a weak girlie and a buff guy available when you find them. The multiple character choice is a tad frivolous, especially when it's such a generic mix.
