|  Fantasy Zone I am glad to hear this little shmup is making its way to the VC soon. Next to R-Type this was one of my favourite games on my 8-bit Sega. It is stupidly cute but as hard as nails. You have to have your wits about you and learn all the patterns. Unusual for a shmup you can fly both left and right to take out your targets. Also a nice touch is when you guide your ship Opa Opa to the ground, he sprouts little feet so he can walk!  To be fair this game has dated quite badly by todays standards but it will always have a warm place in my heart.  |

| Ever tried the PS2 remake? It's almost arcade perfect, and has some little extras, like having the option to activate a quite cool 3D bonus stage after each boss. The bad thing about it is that it makes the SMS version look quite bad in terms of graphics, sound and price. |

You won't notice any differences compared to the arcade in this low-resolution footage, but that was partly the point: They managed to make cell-shaded 3D models that looked exactly like the original sprites, but moved smoothly and have some depth. You can also see them in an unlockable 3D-model viewer, by the way, but you'll have to earn them separately in a special game mode (I remember some bosses being quite difficult to get). Quote:

| Great game and a childhood fav of mine, but it's overshadowed by the excellent sequel and Super Fantasy Zone for the MD.

 | If you like shoot em ups, a definite hit. If the genre's not your thing, you may want to check out some videos first. |

| You might want to get SEGA Classics for the PS2 instead, since it includes the "ultimate" edition of this game... and this port isn't too brilliant (not bad, but just can't be compared with the original arcade). I'd wait for Super Fantasy Zone, which really is a great game without being a port or anything. |
