Bugs:

- fantzone, fantzone1, fantzonep: Fantasy Zone region releases. ketburai (ID 06119)

WIP:

- 0.173: Replaced Z80 CPU1 with Z80 SegaCrypt2 in clone Fantasy Zone (317-5000).

- 0.157: rtw added clone Fantasy Zone (Time Attack, bootleg).

- 0.153: Unigame added clone Fantasy Zone (prototype). Unfortunately the board missing a lot of roms, some had gone bad, and it looks like some should be different. It also has an MCU, but possibly leftover from something else.

- 0.138u1: Cools, Andrew Welburn and The Dumping Union added clone Fantasy Zone (317-5000). Changed parent description to 'Fantasy Zone (Rev A, unprotected)' and clone (set 1, unprotected) to 'Fantasy Zone (unprotected)'.

- 3rd October 2009: Smitdogg - Andy Conroy dumped unmamed clone of Fantasy Zone (bootleg). I haven't looked at them closely and I don't know if they will all be added but... Cool news.

- 0.133u1: hap fixed a bug related to eating cycles during 68k cpu reset. Previously, initial_cycles had a wrong value after reset, and if cycles were < 0, it'd always return 0. This change also happens to fix a scrolling bug in Fantasy Zone, introduced when that cycle eating thing was added. Renamed (fantzon1) to (fantzone1).

- 0.92: Changed description to 'Fantasy Zone (set 2, unprotected)' and clone (Old Ver., unprotected) to 'Fantasy Zone (set 1, unprotected)'. Renamed (fantzono) to (fantzon1).

History


Arcade Video game published 33 years ago:

Fantasy Zone (c) 1986 Sega Enterprises, Limited.

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.

- TRIVIA -

Fantasy Zone was released in March 1986.

The game's main character Opa-opa makes a cameo in 'Zillion' a science fiction anime T.V. series from the 80's, and in the Sega Dreamcast games Shenmue (1999) and Shenmue 2 (2001) as a collectable figurine.

The Stage 1 music was recycled in the Sega Mega Drive role-playing-game "Phantasy Star 4".

The shop music in Fantasy Zone, is recycled in several other Sega games such as 1988's Hot Rod, 1989's Out Run Turbo, and the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive port of Super Hang-On (the tune plays in the shop which is in the console exclusive career mode).
