Fantasy Zone

Fantasy Zone's an old gem from Sega. Originally an arcade game released in 1986, it was ported to numerous home consoles. It's a shooting game where all the enemies are all cute looking and stuff. Because of this, the game's been jokingly referred to as a "Cute 'em up", according to Wikipedia, but of course Wikipedia can't always be trusted. That sounds like a good way to describe it though. I have it on the NES and the TG16. Both versions are great. The NES version is easier, but the TG16 one is more superior. My NES cart seems to be a bit defective, randomly freezing at random points, but I just recently got it, so I might have to buy another one if this keeps up. The name of the spaceship you pilot is called "Opa Opa". Talk about a "WTF?" moment! Opa Opa was also a supporting character in a japanese anime called "Zillion".
