Fantasy Zone on the Sega Master System is this weirdly charming little shooter where you pilot Opa-Opa, a pastel-colored spaceship that looks like it escaped from a kid’s sticker book. Instead of the usual grim sci-fi vibe, everything’s bright and bouncy—even the enemies are these floating eyeballs and walking coins.

You’re basically bouncing between left and right, dropping bombs on enemy bases while dodging their attacks. The controls feel a bit floaty at first, but once you get used to it, weaving through bullets while snagging power-ups becomes oddly satisfying. The music’s got that classic Sega arcade pep, too—catchy in a way that sticks in your head longer than it should.

It’s not the hardest shooter out there, but there’s something about the sheer cheerfulness of it that makes it stand out. Definitely one of the more unique takes on the genre.
