Super Fantasy Zone is an entry in the Fantasy Zone series of games, and was initially released in 1992 for the Sega Mega Drive. Unlike previous outings, Super Fantasy Zone was handled entirely by Sunsoft (under license from Sega), who had previously brought Fantasy Zone and Fantasy Zone II to the Nintendo Famicom. For unknown reasons the game was not released in cartridge form in North America, but is currently unconfirmed as being a Sega Channel title. It eventually saw a more widespread release as part of the Wii's Virtual Console service.

Possibly my favourite non-racing SEGA title ever.
I love Super Fantasy Zone.
I love Super Fantasy Zone.
Hard as hell freely side scrolling shmup with 8 objectives you have to take down for each level. Still very satisfying.
Shoot em up muy divertido, y con un buen apartado artistico
Super Fantasy Zone got me curious because I recognised Opa Opa from Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and I never knew where he was from. Now that I have played his game for a little bit, it was okay. Not the best shooter, but it was fine. Liked the concept of grabbing coins from defeated enemies and upgrading in shops, but the gameplay loop was just ehhh.
Haven't played any Fantasy Zone until now. I suppose it's fine? I didn't really care for the gameplay loop in comparison to typical shmups. I also wish weapon upgrades would stick, especially considering you have to buy them in the shop.
The backgrounds are pretty vibrant in a surprisingly good way compared to the early Genesis library's other "vibrant" games that are actually just shitty Amiga ports. I'll definitely give this game that. Otherwise, not a lot to say.

Might possibly be the best game in the series. Continues all the traditions that made the previous games great and the over dramatic intro scene with the spinning camera around Opa-Opa made me have a big smile on my face. I love Opa-Opa, I love Fantasy Zone, I have been a Sega fan for as long as I remember but I completely slept on this series. I am now more motivated than ever to try and consume every piece of Fantasy Zone media I can find.
