If you’re looking for the absolute "pop" of color in the PC Engine library, Fantasy Zone is the crown jewel.

You pilot the sentient spaceship Opa-Opa, and instead of just flying to the end of a level, you’re tasked with taking out massive base generators in a free-scrolling arena.

This version is widely considered one of the best home ports ever made—capturing the arcade’s whimsical charm and frantic pace with incredible HuCard precision Show more
