Super Fantasy ZoneMD

I'm guessing this will be an import title for us yankees, because we never got this originally.

I had this on Game Gear. I remember it being fun.

No Clinker, it's actually on the SEGA Collection for the PS2 ^_
But it's still really cool

... Or maybe that was the first one...

Now this is a must have for any Fantasy Zone fans. A MegaDrive exclusive that hasn't been featured in any compilations or remakes to this day.
And also, it's a great game.

This game was so much fun.

Uh MaxPlastic, this game isn't on the PS2 Sega Genesis Collection if that's the one you're talking about.

I used to play this game on my freinds mega Drive and i found it very addictive and fun. ive been waiting ages for it to come to the VC. It has nice graphics, catchy sound and i also found the game quite challenging and makes you keep wanting another go. The power up weapons are cute and fun to use. This game is is well worth downloading for a good blast.

The sequel to Fantasy Zone is Fantasy Zone 2: Tears of Opa Opa, also released for the SMS in 1987. This game is from 1992
And it's awesome btw.

to be honest, with my pea brain, I have no idea what all the fuss is about I found it to be quite an average shmup.

While I'm not as fond of the PC Engine Fantasy Zone game, I've always loved this Mega Drive version. It's just a shame it was never released in the US. Maybe it will hit the US Virtual Console soon and change all that.

i hope the US gets this one, i really enjoyed the original.

I downloaded the SMS original and I liked it too. Hopefully we'll get this game in America as an import. Looks even better

Actually i prefer the SMS original. Super Fantasy Zone is fun, but don´t really move the series forward. There is too little innovation in it to make me excited for real. I think graphics are trippier on the SMS as well. But feel free to buy it, it´s a weird little shooter.

And yay, a Sunsoft developed game for VC! Now bring Gremlins II, Journey to Silius, Batman and... Waku Waku 7!

I got the original so perhaps not...then again...

Love this game, just as hard as ever for me. I couldnt even pass the second stage as a kid lol.
Shoot Em Ups arent my style but I really like this game and it brings back great memories!

I just picked up this game and I already have the SMS version. I am a bit turned off by the difficulty even on the easiest mode. However the graphics, music and control are amazing. If Mario did a shooter it would look like this game.( except with more turtles)

Such a cool game. Gradius meets a third graders art project.

A cutesy platform-shooter hybrid that acts as a pleasent introduction to what is a highly subjective game genre - but be aware: it'll kick your arse. Good stuff!

@CrazyOtto I am just going to hack mine like most people will and put the whole library on it.
