Publisher: Sega
Released: 1986
Fantasy Zone is a shoot-em-up that was originally released in the Arcade in 1986.
+ Learning which of the 11 different weapons and power-ups are most effective encourages repeat play-throughs.+ Tons of enemy types, bosses are inventive, and the collectable coins add a great risk-reward element to the gameplay.
+ A really cool additional challenge comes from disabling the weapon timer by first purchasing all the engine power-ups.
- However, without this trick the weapons last a very short amount of time, making their usefulness rather limited.
- Mega-expensive Rocket Engine isn't worth the price of admission, as your ship's movements end up being ultra twitchy.
- Difficulty level is sky-high and the need to ferociously button mash quickly leads to physical fatigue.
- Missing the radar screen from the Arcade original, and enemies have a tendency to blur into the background.
