Woof…. What a dark ending for such a cute game. Who would’ve known such an adorable and lighthearted game about saving beautiful alien planets from invaders would end with the player *literally killing their father*?!?!
@@impostoeroubo405 yeah you were alive in the the second one but you have a good percent chance in becoming evil at the end of the game unless you go through every portal possible in the game which isn't rlly that hard. It actually saves you in some dangerous occasions
Unlocked this the other day on the Genesis Collection. I didn't even bother looking it up, wanted to be surprised. Well worth it, this is a VERY good shmup. And a lot harder then it looks. I can't really make much more headway in this then I could in Alien Syndrome..
This game is Cuphead and Gradius on steroids. ONE HIT KILLS YOU. Like it's impossible not to get hit in this game. This game accepts nothing but perfection. One of the most brutal arcade shooters out there
That "Catchy Shop Tune" has been in a LOT of Sega games, such as Turbo OutRun, GP Rider, Hot Rod, Super Hang-On, and even a remixed version in Streets of Rage Remake.
is this one of the earliest sad game endings? I haven't seen that many retro games from this era with this kind of ending the only other games I could think of would be splatterhouse and final fantasy adventure for the gameboy
the lonely youtuber Well I suppose, but a lot of old Sega games had endings like that, its part of the charm, plus opa-opa and his dad are reunited in the sequel.
Possibly. But its display at trying to have a "moment" was pretty awful in my opinion. "It was my dad!?" - Star Wars was still massively popular mid-80s after all. I'd even say it's both one of the first sad endings.... and first rip-offs for that matter Doesn't stop it from being a kickass and unique game though.
I had this (well, I still have it) for the TG16. It's a *_really_* difficult game, and I did finally make it to the end but it took me a long time & probably 100 plays. How do you get through it so fast without one death?!
I've played this version once, probably the hardest version for me, I've even played the sunsoft version a couple times before, that one is still slightly easier for me(but still a living nightmare).
The bgm for this version of the game gives off Sonic 2 vibes, even though Fantasy Zone preceded it. Sega had some upbeat bgm when they used this type of music
Wow. Fantastic run! Once you get the rocket engine it gets insane. Excellent precision dodging! This game is super fun but I still haven't passed La Dune haha.
Its absolutely crazy how well you were controlling that rocket engine, dude... I usually choose the jet engine as my fastest because I can't control it very well beyond that. Well done

No because it’s impossible without the jet engine but even with that you’re still aren’t quick enough you need the turbo engine in order to defeat the Ida-2 boss

The reforming scary square head boss was ahead of its time. Late 80s 2D game with 3D effects that is smoother than whatever Pulstar was? (Pulstar was good though not as good as this and the 3D effects was crude and honestly Neo-Geo is better for a sprite based game anyway)
What's ironic is this is probably the toughest version of all of them the Master system the NES and then super fantasy zone. Except that this version has the best graphics the best music the best levels it's the best one
Speaking of the master system, if you're playing this on the switch, you can enable something that causes that version's stage 4 and 6 bosses to spawn instead of their original counterparts
If anyone is interested, I did a brief commented playthrough of the first level of the Master System version of Fantasy Zone 1 and 2 on my channel. It's the first time I'd played the game since I was a kid, and it's part of a series of videos along those lines. Hopefully it will be entertaining. I also hope this shameless promotion isn't too inappropriate :)
I never knew this game had bosses and other levels! I thought you just played the first level endlessly until you died lol. I guess I just wasn't very good at it. Fun fact: Space Harrier is set in Fantasy Zone as well.
"Welcome to the Fantasy Zone!". Space Harrier came out just a few months before Fantasy Zone, thought its fantasy zone is a bit meaner looking. I wonder if Phantasy Star which first appeared a couple of years later was also meant to be a new kind of fantasy zone.
This channel is supposed to be a showcase of the games itself, so it's not really a huge deal if you use savestates or some other tricks, but if you go completely overboard like this, it gets to a point where the video stops being representative of the actual game.

It's implied that he killed him here, but in FZ2 they decided he hadn't after all. It's a bit Star Warsy of course.
Well, that was a mad plot-twist at the end.

Yes. I've finally found the game i played in my childhood ;_)
They make a kids game with rainbow colors have serious themes lol nice job sega

A lot of practice. A LOT. Ive played through the game seven times *today.* We have the entire game memorized, basically.

Kyle Mac hah, it’s not hard with practice
Depends on the stick being used as my bartop cabinet has a cheaper stick and makes game far harder
That's the game that was shown on the Muppet Babies episode "It's Only Pretendo"!

Let's be honest. A lot of you came from Sonic superstars
Here's a game that needs a star fox style reboot.
The reforming scary square head boss was ahead of its time. Late 80s 2D game with 3D effects that is smoother than whatever Pulstar was?
(Pulstar was good though not as good as this and the 3D effects was crude and honestly Neo-Geo is better for a sprite based game anyway)
Here from Sonic Superstars
What a cool reference
Same, Frozen Base Act 2 made me want to pick this game up

you missed some gold
