Same here, l'm 38 now and found this gem of a game years ago as a demo in a game magazine. I was living some of my darkest years back then, but this game was like a little place to visit and rest. I kinda miss the ability to immerse myself into a game as l used to with Zanzarah, but the older you get, the less you dream, unfortunately.
Some of the key moments: 55:42 Tiralin 1:40:13 Dunmore 2:41:44 Forest Hut 2:59:12 The Mountain World 4:13:36 On the Peaks 4:34:15 The Realm of Clouds 5:39:39 Monagham 6:08:51 The Great Tree 7:08:59 The White Cathedral 7:39:29 The Ruins 8:04:38 The Keeper of the Fairy Card 8:16:10 Lava Caves 8:32:50 The Shadow Realm
I first played it on 2000 or 2001. It just became an instant favorite. Time passed and played everything from COD to Nfs to Crysis. But i still have a fixation for this underrated gem. The music, the world, the fairies..everything is as enchanting as the game world within. I still have it. High five for all Zanazarah lovers🤗
this is basically the best game ever sadly i can't get the steam version to work at all any more D; smooth gameplay you got there !! I wish more people could appreciate this
Hi there, I created a topic on steam to fix that, it's entitled how to fix mouse lag in Zanzarah, you can check it up if you want :) I can only agree, it's also the best game ever to me ! :)
@@thisismehina27 03ig-4hgq-o4no-0id0-25vt. It's my own, but when someone needs help and it regards my favourite game ever, I must help them. So, have fun 😉
I'm playing this now. I remember playing this as a kid back in 2003. Glad I found it on Steam on sale! At first, I was having issues with the mouse control in the game. But then, I saw a thread on the patches available to fix the issues and it worked! Now I spend most of my day on this, side-by-side with your video as my guide. Thank you so much for sharing this video! :)
@@Humanityslaststand there are literally a bunch of graphic fixes available now, you can play it on HD if it's compatible with your PC. Such a fun game to play :)
i remember playing the demo over and over because my cd broke and i couldnt find a new one. I have it on steam now so it works perfectly (with a few tweaks). I think more people would give it a chance if it got a remaster with all the quirks ironed out. Sucks that it gets negative reviews because of its poor optimization. Everyone I know that plays this game from start to finish loves it and I think it's because the game mechanics age very well. Games of the era have very old game design but this game should feel very familiar to anyone that plays action adventure games and RPGs.
I played this as a Kid and then as a teen when I found The disk for it. Recently My boyfriend found it on discount from Steam and installed it for me. Im finally able to play My favourite game again 😭❤️
I think it's alright 'coz Segbuzz was later on returned to Amy. It is a unique fairy. While Suane can be evolved from Lighane and Driane which are easy to find and capture. :)
thanks for this video.. It's remind me my childhood 18 years ago when i played this game.. . Unfortunately I couldn't collect all fairies.. but i finished this game till the end. Thanks again. Salam from Indonesia❤❤
Ive played for years and the most annoying part is trying to figure out what determines if a fairie hits lvl 60 or not. In the past i thought each fairie had a set maximum but my sister also plays and ive gotten max 60s of fairies she cannot and vice versa. Wonder how that is determined...
the first time I got it was from Big Lots store in the children's clearance section and gave it to my older daughter, ended up playing it myself a few times, never when it had live servers for multiplayer. I got it now through steam but I have to get the mouse bug fixed.
i played it with my ocusin in mid 2000s we all loved this game Ive been looking fo r it forever since I got back to gaming recently. I loved this game it was probably my first open world kind of 3D experience
Why are you always giving the "golden carrot" to fairies that are just before to level up? That's a wasted golden carrot. You are supposed to give them to fairies immediately after they level up.
I have hardcopy of this game, does anyone know if I can redeem it on Steam? Apparently it was on sales last week for like $0.70 but I missed it. Heard Steam version is quite buggy and hard to run tho.
Steam version is buggy yeah. But if you use DgVoodoo2 and force the game to widescreen with DirectX, it runs great (it's what I did). You can buy a Steam key here for example, for an even cheaper price: www.gamerthor.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3187

There is a remake in the works I think. You can see the developments on the channel "Zanzarah by JW" on TH-cam.
I played this as a Kid and then as a teen when I found The disk for it. Recently My boyfriend found it on discount from Steam and installed it for me. Im finally able to play My favourite game again 😭❤️
is there any part-2 for this game? or any similar games like this from the Zanzarah.
@@Sai22629 no there is not, but there is some girl from Rusia is working on her own remake of this game, you can search on TH-cam zanzara by JW
Unfortunatelly there are no sequel of Zanzarah.
6:04:00 Trading Suane for Worgot level 0 still hurts to the core.
I think it's alright 'coz Segbuzz was later on returned to Amy. It is a unique fairy. While Suane can be evolved from Lighane and Driane which are easy to find and capture. :)
My love for fantasy probably started with this game. I spent countless hours playing it as a kid.
Im ready to fucking cry, so many memories. Literally gonna watch this like a movie :D
thanks for this video.. It's remind me my childhood 18 years ago when i played this game.. . Unfortunately I couldn't collect all fairies.. but i finished this game till the end. Thanks again.
