Welcome to the Fantasy Zone! I remember seeing this game in the Crystal Rooms in Leicester Square a while back and it seemed to die a death. It is strange because it is a beaut of a game.

Basically it is a shoot 'em up with VERY unusual colourful backdrops and aliens. Your character is called Opa Opa and he has to defeat the invading aliens, there are eight planets to clear and to get from one planet to another you have to destroy that biggy alien at the end of the wave.

Your ship can move left or right against a strange tutti-frutti-yummy-yummy-I-want-to-eat-this-cartridge scrolling backdrop and aliens float in from all sides spitting death at you. The only weapons available initially are bullets and bombs but these can be upgraded by collecting coins. You can collect coins by shooting aliens and then buying Letter armaments for your ship from The Shop. You can choose from three types, Speed (Big Wings, Jet, Turbo, Rocket), Weapon (Laser, 7-way shot, Wide Beam) Bombs (Twin, Smart, Fire and Heavy).

Review is cut off at this point due to a magazine error.
