Fantasy zone reveiw by Lord B


	Opa-Opa, one of Sega’s trademark characters long before any 

blue hedgehogs, stars in this cutesy colourful shoot-em-up that’s more

 fun that a gerbil down you pants.


	Fly your tiny ship through 8 colourful stages, blowing up enemy

 bases and collecting the cash ... then come up against a whole level 

full of badass (but cute) bosses. The most money you make the more 

parts you can equip your ship with, from faster engines to bigger bombs

 and more powerful weapons systems, Opa-Opa can really whip some ass.

The stage bosses are huge and you go one on one with the big mofo’s. 

And after you’re through whupping his ass, it’s time to collect big 

time - I just want to know one thing : where was he stashing all that

lode?


	Until I actually played the arcade version, I had no idea this

 was such a faithful conversion, in fact - one of the best for the 

Master System I have ever seen. And since the arcade version was an 

instant classic in terms of gameplay and graphics, this version is just

 as much of a classic on the humble Sega 8-bit console.


	Final Comment: If you haven’t played this game before, I 

suggest you do it at once. It was one my favourites on the SMS, and 

also the main reason I’ll probably have chronic arthritis later in 

life, because my pads had no rapid fire function.
