For such a paltry asking price how can you ignore this ground-breaking shoot-'em-up? No-one has ever used color to such effect on the Master System; this game requires sunglasses!

It's over 4,000 years from now. A band of intergalactic thieves has conquered the strange and beautiful Fantasy Zone. Here, all types of creatures have existed in peace for thousands of years, but now this evil force plunders its eight different worlds. Seeking Golden Rubicoms, the Intergalactic Coin of the Realm(money!), these invaders seek to build an impenetrable fortress for their ruthless leader. On behalf of the Space Federation, your job is to stop them! You must save the colorful Fantasy Zone from certain doom. But who is their leader? And what will happen when you finally face him...alone!

A fortune in stolen stellar currency is backing the return of the evil Menon War Fleet. As OPA-OPA, your mission is to blast the invaders off the Fantasy Zone worlds and recapture the Galactic Treasury. Retrieve gold coins from destroyed Menon ships to custom build your awesome Space Cruiser. Order from a selection of thrusters, lasers and homing missiles to power up your rebel fighter. But choose your weapons carefully - you'll be facing the toughest mutant aliens from across the galaxy in your quest to crush the enemy's forces and restore peace to the Fantasy Zone.

The Fantasy Zone is under attack by an army of ruthless, yet undeniably cute, alien enemies. A fearless space fighter by the name of 'Opa-opa' (a craft that is as cute as the game's enemies, featuring wings and feet - the latter appearing whenever the player flies down to ground level at the bottom of the screen) must stop the alien invasion to restore peace to the Fantasy Zone, as well as finding his missing father, 'Opapa', in the process.

Each level has a number of large, enemy generating ships, that produce a constant stream of enemies to attack the player. While the enemies the generators produce can either be shot or avoided, the generators themselves MUST be destroyed. Once the generators are gone, an end-of-level ship will appear that must be beaten to complete the level.

Fantasy Zone is rendered with the surreal, brightly coloured graphics that typify many Japanese videogames; with an equally abstract approach to in-game weapons: with that cartoon comedy staple, the 'anvil', making an appearance.

Once again you control Opa-Opa, a pretty colored ship with wings on its side and must destroy the large creatures in each world before moving on to the next. Your task becomes difficult by other small creatures that happen to pass by. If you destroy a large creature, they will drop a dollar bill, which you can pick up and use at the shop to buy items and powerful weapons such as laser beams, x-way shots, and big wings. Another way to get money is to shoot certain kinds of enemies all in a row.

This version is very similar to the Sega Master System version on which it is based. The graphics and sound are seemingly useridentical, but a few changes have been made. There is a timer that forces the player to progress quickly through the stages, and counters that show which targets have been destroyed, like those in the first game. There are also new end-of-level scoring bonuses.

Fantasy Zone II: The Teardrop of Opa-Opa is the sequel to Fantasy Zone, in which you control Opa-Opa, a pretty colored ship with wings on its side. You must destroy the large creatures in each world before moving on to the next. Your task becomes difficult by other small creatures that happen to pass by. If you destroy a large creature, they will drop a dollar bill, which you can pick up and use at the shop to buy items and powerful weapons such as laser beams, x-way shots, and big wings. Another way to get money is to shoot certain kinds of enemies all in a row.

More often than not, some large creatures will reveal a warp gate rather than a dollar bill. You can go through the warp gate to get to another part of the land, and destroy more large creatures. Only one of them will have a warp gate in the form of a 'stop' sign - that is your ticket to the round boss, but you must defeat all large creatures in order to pass through it. Also like in the original can you walk on the ground to avoid approaching enemies, and spend money in the shop to get new weapons (but they only last for a limited time).

Opa-Opa is at it again. Only this time the perils are greater and the rewards even better. Enter this zany world of characters again for real thrills and challenges.

More of the same abuse of the Master System colour palette. Eight more levels that are just as tough and challenging as the original.

Join Opa-Opa in Sega's third Fantasy Zone adventure! It's all the action and adventure that made Fantasy Zone famous... in a new gaming format!

The evil Menons have returned... in multi-level bases which are hidden in seven different planets! The brave Opa-Opa has been called to battle their eveil threat. And joining him in the fight is his younger brother, Upa-Upa.

Your Mission: Guide this brave team of brothers through level after level of treacherous mazes. Get the golden coins stolen by the Menon hoard and use them to purchase powerful weapons.

The fantasy zone is counting on you! Don't let them down.

The shoot-'em up game has been changed to a PacMan format. Simple, but effective graphics make this great fun.

The next-gen sequel to Fantasy Zone, Super Fantasy Zone starts as a strange gravitational force appears in the Menon planet, home of the evil Menon empire and thus a new threat looms over the Fantasy Zone.

In a sudden strike by the Menon forces O-Papa, Opa-Opa's father, is fatally wounded. Thus Opa-Opa once again sets forth to destroy the Menon empire and avenge his father.

Gameplay is useridentical to the previous games, you control Opa-Opa on a freely scrolling 2D game world and you must seek and destroy all the enemy generators in each level in classic arcade shooter fashion and then face a boss fight. Upon successful completion of a level, you get to spend the coins you collected on it at an upgrade shop, fitting your ship with better weapons and upgrades, and then you head out for the next level.

Small changes in gameplay include the removal of the automatic orientation control as in the Game Gear Fantasy Zone, expanded control mapping that takes advantage of the Mega Drive's extra buttons, and more weapons and items to upgrade your ship with.
