ファンタジーゾーン
[b][i]Fantasy Zone[/i][/b] (ファンタジーゾーン, [i]Fan-ta-jī Zō-nu[/i]) is a 1986 [[science fiction]] and [[fantasy]] [[arcade]] [[video game]] by [[SEGA]], and the first game in the "Fantasy Zone" series. 

It was later ported to a wide variety of consoles, including the [[Sega Master System]]. The player controls a sentient [[robot]]/spaceship named [[Opa-Opa]] who fights an enemy invasion in the titular group of planets. 

The game contains a number of features atypical of the traditional scrolling shooter. Its main character, Opa-Opa, is sometimes referred to as Sega's first mascot character ever. 

Numerous sequels of the game were made and many have been ported to [[home console]]s over the years. 

The game design and main character had many similarities to the earlier [[TwinBee]], and together the games are credited with the creation of the [i]cute 'em up[/i] subgenre. 

[i]Fantasy Zone[/i] and [[Space Harrier]] share the same fictional universe.
