This is a fun cute-em-up I haven't played in a while. Nice shooting!

The cute can definitely fool you in this game, is pretty tough.
Nice Shooting, agreed!

ARCADE RELEASE: Fantasy Zone (Sega) - 1986/Mar/20


STORY:

- Long ago, far away in space, there existed a "Fantasy Zone" where a courageous hero called Opa-Opa (The Player) fought in a valiant cause to rescue the "Fantasy Zone" from it's enemies. In the space year 1422, the interplanetary Monetary System collapsed, causing all of the planets to become panic-stricken. According to an official inquiry made by the space guild, someone is leading the Menon planet forces, using them to steal the forgeign currencies of the other planets, and with the funds. Construct a huge fortress in the "Fantasy Zone". To put an end to their ambitious plans, Opa-opa promptly takes off for the "Fantasy Zone" where...

NOTES:

- Hardware: System16a / Pre-system16 (Space Harrier without the road generator)


WIP:

- 0.173: Changed machine\segacrp2.cpp/h to segacrp2_device.cpp/h. Sega encryption emulation (segacrp2) is now a device, kill off a whole bunch of duplicated decryption code across several drivers [David Haywood].

- 0.167: Make screen flipping actually work in the System16 driver (it hasn't since the driver was rewritten). This makes 'SDI - Strategic Defense Initiative' playable again (level 2 onwards had no sprites and completely broken backgrounds) [David Haywood].

- 0.147u4: Phil Bennett fixed missing speech in Segas16a games (shinobi, aliensyn2 and quartet).

- 0.147u2: Updated I8243 to use DEVCB2 and removed trampolines [Miodrag Milanovic].

- 0.147u1: hap fixed y board sprite colors (the 3ff to 7ff change) (video\segas16a.c). Fixed problem with marking dirty region (video\sega16sp.c).

- 0.147: Added emu\sprite.c/h and video\sega16sp.h. Created new sprite device base class, which manages a bitmap and a sparse bitmap for tracking which areas got updated. This allows sprites to be rendered independently to their own bitmap and then mixed in a final step. Converted the Sega sprite device over to this new model, and moved the mixing steps out of the sprite implementations and into the driver-specific video updates where it belongs. Added some further methods and helpers to the bitmap_t and rectangle classes. Created a sega_16bit_common_base class which handles thecommon Sega palette RAM mappings and open bus reads [Aaron Giles].

- 0.146u5: Removed includes\segas16.h. Added includes\segas16a.h. Converted FD1089/FD1094 into proper devices, derived from m68000. They now handle their own decryption and memory management, so we can remove all the calls for initialization/reset/etc. The key now lives as a 'key' subdevice under the CPU, and the FD1089/1094 are now specified just like any other CPU. Created a helper class for managing fd1094 decryption caches. Added support for member functions to be called as DRIVER_INIT functions. To do this, #define MODERN_DRIVER_INIT prior to #including "emu.h" and you will be required to specify a class and member function for your driver init. Untangled the joined segas1x_state and split the states for each system into their own classes. Cleaned up some implementations. Split segas16.h header into separate headers for each system. Fully modernize Segas16a. Convert multiply, divide and compare/timer chips into modern devices. Removed legacy 8255 APIs. Move Segas16a driver to newer I8255. Misc. cleanups [Aaron Giles].

- 0.143u8: Added includes\segaipt.h. Kanikani fixed coinage DIPSW using Sega common setting in Segas16a driver.

-  2nd January 2011: Smitdogg - System 16A/B schematics are now available. Thanks to Kevin Eshbach.

- 0.139u2: Treat unsupported read and write accesses (segaic16.c) to defined devices/memory as open-bus reads or unmapped writes instead of falling through to the memory-mapping registers [Phil Bennett].

- 0.138u3: Added machine\segacrp2.c/h.

- 0.136u3: Added includes\segas16.h. Fabio Priuli added save states and driver data struct to Segas16a driver.

- 0.134u4: Team Japump fixed Sega System 16 ROM names according to real machine, and corrected game version description for Alien Syndrome and SDI.

- 0.131u3: Sega System 16A changes [Aaron Giles, Dr. Decapitator]: Added MCU dumps to quart21 and bodyslam. Hooked up MCU in these games. Marked games using simulated MCU as "unemulated protection" as the MCUs clearly do more than what we are simulating. Yasuhiro Ogawa added some security custom info to the Segas16a driver (from http://www.higenekodo.jp/sega_n.htm).

- 0.130u1: System16A update [Kanikani]: Enabled some buttons previously marked as 'unused'. Manuals say 'No Connection', but programs read them and do something. i.e. button2 in Tetris: can rotate the piece.

- 0.129: Aaron Giles removed bogus port 4-7 definitions from MCS-48. Added i8243 implementation. Connected 8243 properly to System 16a sound.

- 0.127u3: Aaron Giles fixed access violation in many Segas16a sets.

- 0.122u8: RansAckeR improved segas16a DIPs and added DIP locations from manuals.

- 0.122u6: Changed N7751 CPU3 clock speed to 6MHz in some games.

- 0.113u2: Zsolt Vasvari updated a number of Sega games to use the new video timing code.

- 0.113: Ruben added DIP locations to the Segas16a driver.

- 0.111u6: Corrado Tomaselli updated Sega System 16/18 drivers to be mono and swapped button 1/2 to match instruction card.

- 0.107u2: Massive cleanup/fixing of 16-bit Sega drivers [Alex Jackson]: Many corrections to descriptive set names, adding revision letters, cabinet types, etc. Fixed button ordering between System 16A/B. Fixed many dipswitches and added DIP locations support. Adjusted min/max values for analog controls to improve response. Cleaned up a number of ROM names and fixed some incorrect guesses. Actually disabling 8751 in games that have a fake replacement. Hooked up 8255 PPI correctly now that it has mode 2 support. Fixed behavior of NMI line in later sega sound boards. Fixed addressing in the SegaPCM sound system. Some hardware/documentation cleanup.

- 0.104u4: Aaron Giles fixed Segas16a games not workin using a 8751.

- 0.91: Aaron Giles added proper mirroring for the memory map (needs my memory update). Added support for 3 multiply chips and 3 divide chips. Fixed timer/compare chip implementation to match real PCB (machine\segaic16). Added tilemap flipping support and sprite flipping support for 16A and 16B sprites (video\segaic16).

- 0.90u4: Segas16a Update [Aaron Giles]. Improved the way custom I/O controls work internally. Rewrote the N7751 path so that it is properly triggered and better described. Added support for Major League controls. Added support for Sukeban Jansi Ryuko (System 16A) controls. Hooked up dipswitches for Time Scanner. Connected up the watchdog (some games use it, some don't). Removed unused controls from all games' input lists. Updated the YM2151 mixing volume. Cleaned up tilemap handling using the new user_data feature. Added pixel-accurate scaling to System 16B sprites. Based on this knowledge, tweaked System 16A sprite systems.

- 0.89u2: Sega Improvements [Aaron Giles]: Fixed many s18 and s16a priority bugs, fixed s16a end-of-spritelist marker, 8751 simulation improved, hooked up backup ram, dipswitch fixes and cleanups etc.

- 0.89u1: Sega System 16A improvements [Aaron Giles]: Included detailed README in the driver file. Hooked up column/row scroll (see Quartet title screen) - don't know if it's really right yet. Reintroduced tilemap/text priorities. Corrected Z80 clock speed. Incorporated Brian Troha's updated DIPs. Minor cleanups.

- 0.88u7: Added segas16a.c driver, vidhrdw\segas16a.c and vidhrdw\segaic16.c/h. Many improvements to Sega System 16a driver [Aaron Giles].

Fantasy Zone (ファンタジーゾーン Fantajī Zōn^?) is an arcade game released by Sega internationally on March 28, 1986, and is the first Fantasy Zone series. It was later ported to a wide variety of consoles, including the Sega Master System. The player controls a sentient spaceship named Opa-Opa who fights an enemy invasion in the titular group of planets. The game contains a number of features atypical of the traditional scrolling shooter. The main character, Opa-Opa, is sometimes referred to as Sega's first mascot character.^[1] The game design and main character had many similarities to the earlier TwinBee, and together the games are credited with the creation of the "cute 'em up" subgenre.^[2]

Plot[edit]

In the space year 1422 (6216 in the Master System version), the Fantasy Zone was cast in panic at the collapse of the interplanetary monetary system. The Space Guild brings to light the plans of the planet Menon, whose forces are stealing the other planets' currencies to fund a huge fortress in the Fantasy Zone. Opa-Opa is sent to stop the invading army and discover who is behind it. In the end, it turns out that the leader was none other than Opa-Opa's long lost father, a revelation that leaves Opa-Opa with mixed emotions.

Gameplay[edit]

Screenshot of Fantasy Zone (arcade version).

In the game, the player's ship is placed in a level with a number of bases to destroy. When all the bases are gone, the stage boss appears, who must be defeated in order to move on to the next stage. There are eight stages, and in all of them, except the final one, the scroll is not fixed; the player can move either left or right, although the stage loops. The final level consists of a rematch against all of the previous bosses in succession before facing the final boss.
Opa-Opa uses two different attacks: the standard weapon (initially bullets) and bombs. He can also move down to land on the ground by sprouting feet and walking around until he flies again.
It is possible to upgrade Opa-Opa's weapons, bombs and flying engine to increase speed, as well as get extra lives. Before that, the player must get money by defeating enemies, bases or bosses, and access a shop by touching a marked balloon. Each time a new item is bought, they become more expensive. When the player chooses to exit or the time runs up, another screen appears, in which he or she can select what upgrades Opa-Opa can use; only one engine, weapon and bomb can be equipped at a time.
Some of the new weapons have a time limit that starts as soon as the shop is left. Some of the bombs can be used at any moment, are limited in quantity. Engine upgrades are permanent The powerups can also be reassigned by reentering the shop or touch a balloon with the word "Select" written on it. If the player loses a life, all of the upgrades are lost.
