Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 3: Fantasy Zone (SEGA AGES 2500シリーズ Vol.3 ファンタジーゾーン) is the third entry in the Sega Ages 2500 series for the PlayStation 2.

This game is a remake of the original 1986 arcade release of Fantasy Zone. It has two modes, "arcade" and "original", both sporting cell-shaded 3D graphics rather than 2D sprites and four new levels.

Gameplay

Original mode is notable for its 3D effects. After a boss is defeated, the camera pans to a third-person perspective behind Opa-Opa and a bonus mode is engaged, in which the player needs to avoid obstacles and collect coins as the boss slowly dies.

Stages

This version of the game adds four more stages, which will appear in Original mode when they are unlocked:

	Dawndusk
	This is the first, which counts as Round 8.
	Apochal
	The second exclusive level, counting as Round 9. This level is built similarly to Dolimicca, in that all the bases are on the ground. The boss is a circular being which fires in a number of directions, though each of its initial bullets split into four (and as it becomes more damaged, eight).
	Cavian
	The third exclusive level, counting as Round 10.
	Depooble
	The fourth and final exclusive level, counting as Round 11. It is set underwater. The boss is similar to that of Pocarius, with a bit of Tabas' boss thrown in.
