Fantasy Zone Gear
System(s): Game Gear
Publisher: Sims
Developer:
Genre: Shoot 'em up

















Fantasy Zone Gear: Opa Opa Jr. no Bouken (ファンタジーゾーンGear オパオパJr.の冒険), released outside of Japan as just Fantasy Zone is a Game Gear shoot 'em up game that is part of the Fantasy Zone series. Despite having the same name as the Master System game in western regions, Fantasy Zone Gear is in fact a completely different game which makes use of the Game Gear's extended color palette.

Fantasy Zone Gear offers very little to the table, other than new stages and music (though many of the jingles are identical to that of the original Fantasy Zone). Due to size restraints, it is unable to show any kind of HUD in game, however Opa-Opa's equipment can be changed at any time by hitting the  START  button.

As with all Fantasy Zone games, Fantasy Zone Gear was re-released in 2008 as part of the Japanese PlayStation 2 compilation, Fantasy Zone Complete Collection.

Config Mode

Pressing UpRightDownLeft1212 START  at the title screen will open "Config Mode", allowing you to adjust lives, money, access the sound test and select a level.

The final level, like all Fantasy Zone games, simply puts Opa-Opa against all of the bosses he's encountered so far, before having him face the end boss. As Fantasy Zone Gear drops the backgrounds when bosses are encountered, this level has no identity of its own. You never "see" where Opa-Opa actually is, only that he's got bosses to fight.
