Ok guys my pick is Fantasy Zone 2. In a nutshell I think the Fantasy Zone brand series was a great one that unfortunatly seems to have been forgotten amoungst modern gamers. Its a tip top shooter as well as having some of the most vibrant graphics I have ever seen, coupled with a nice difficulty level makes this one of my faves. I kinda wanted to put some pics to show you guys just how bright this game is but alas I dunno how, so if someone else would that would be great.

Here's one I'm surprised hasn't been picked before. I was throughly impressed with it when I first played it, the graphical genesis from the first game was amazing with more colors than I could believe and I thought the inclusion of multi-planed levels was pretty cool. Damn hard as well, that spinning pillar boss is a freaking beast. Good pick.

I totally agree with this choice. Fantasy Zone II is my all-time favourite SMS game - it's just so much fun. :)
Great pick, dude.

I love the fantasy zone games - though sometimes I find them a bit insane!!! Too much stuff flying at you from all directions - back, forward, up, down ARGH no more!!!!!
They're great fun, I remember when they were out me and my pals used to absolutely love them and have competitions which I'd always lose (being rubbish at horizontal scrollers!). I think I might be one of the few who actually love fantasy zone maze too.

I love all three, quite alot of games, esp space shooters go for the metalic cold look, so Fantasy Zone is just a breath of fersh air.

Good call. This is my second favorite sms game of all time. The first two fantasy zones were the only games that I ever used the Sports Pad for. Now we all know that Stan uses nothing but the sports pad for every game as he is a huge fan of it  , but has anybody else ever tried this? Please keep the sports pad hate pm's to a minimum ;D |

I would think with this game it would be DAMN hard because you have to move around so quickly but I guess I'll give it a go.

I have always though that the difficulty and learning curve of this game was spot on, not too hard, but a decent challenge all the same

I don't even own it, I liked the third one only cos it plays like Pacman, never got into the 1st one......maybe cos I'm crap at it!

Anyone know the location of all the secrets? How many secret shops are there?

I loved collecting the coins and bills and found the cute feet the ship had when you were running on the ground.
graphics for the game was amazing for an 8-bit game and very colorful full of life.
curious if anyone picked up the re-make of the original or the sega ages collection?
I played both and they are awesome, highly recommended!!

I actually played through this the other day to hear it in full FM glory. Much tougher than the first game, but those portals on each level make it a fair challenge. It's not the usual difficulty associated with shooters, where if you lose your power-ups you are screwed. Here, it's just tough from a timing standpoint, if you have patience you can easily get far. I love all three games for different reasons - I think The Maze is a damn fine Pacman clone that more than holds its own with all the Fantasy Zone related upgrades and quirks. I definitely prefer that to Pacman.
A great series - wouldn't that be something if SEGA revived this for a newer console like they've recently done with Alien Syndrome? That would be sexy.
