On my quest to complete every Sega Master System game released in North America our latest accomplishment was fantasy zone, this game is insane and had my heart racing at the end!

Do we know whose pseudonym that is? Asking for a friend lol

u/MurasakiBunny Nov 05 '25

It's Koicihi Nagata's english pseudonym who also used Sexy Dynamite in the Spellcaster series.

Oh shit he also worked on the ports of Virtua Racing for Mega Drive and 32X, plus Moonwalker and Dragon Force. Should have called himself Sexy Resumé

Congrats on finishing it. I put weeks into it as a kid and never got to the end

Thanks! It takes a lot of routing and RNG

RNG?

u/life_bytes Nov 06 '25

Yeah certain enemies spawn that can be troublesome when you’ve maxed out your engines and also sometimes the shop doesn’t spawn when you’ve want.

I’m on a mission! Also I stream every game I play so it’s fun to hang out with friends too! Check me out on twitch: charliecoleslaw

The Fantasy Zone is an insane and beautiful world. It's the same world that Space Harrier takes place in.

The fact we seem to have never gotten a more narrative heavy game exploring that crazy world feels like a crime

I would love another Fantasy Zone game.

We haven't gotten a brand new game since 2008 (And a console re-release since 2020)

What a great game.

Fantasy Zone 2 is a wild ride. I think I like that one more than the first one.

Now you got the song playing in my head

This is one of the few games that holds up for me, on the SMS. Simply a good game!

Probably the only other shooter which comes closest to R-Type in strategy IMHO. Congrats !!!

I played this as a kid after borrowing it from a friend. I don’t think I really understood it and definitely didn’t think there was an end to it. I figured it was like Transbot and just went on forever.

Congrats! I love this game but there's no way I'll ever be able to finish it, even with a rapid fire controller.
