Even if shoot-'em-ups aren't normally your thing, Fantasy Zone is definitely worth forking over the cash to check out.

Fantasy Zone was a lot of fun when I first played it a long time ago and it's still a lot of fun today. While the save states aren't quite as useful as with other games in the Sega Ages library, the Upa-Upa and Time Attack Modes do add some variety to the gameplay for players looking to change things up a bit from the normal mode. If you're looking for a fun simple shooter that has a nice difficulty curve and a bit of strategy in how you play (namely in how you spend your coins), Fantasy Zone is worth checking out.

Sega Ages: Fantasy Zone is another solid release that retro gamers should strongly consider picking up.
