Opa Opa

Could be that someone has seen my sentence "Opa Opa Forever". And could be you don't know what is Opa Opa.

So let's talk about Opa Opa, because is a marvelous character. There are another places where you can read about Opa Opa, the best of all is shrine of opa opa , and at wikipedia you can read something more.

Opa Opa is the main character of Fantasy Zone series. As simple as ti seems. Now I have to describe the points.

Opa Opa is some king of a egg, more like easter egg, with wings. Some time ago (the spacial year 1422) very very far, there existed a fantastuc zone where a hero (our character) fought valiantly for rescue it from forces from Menon planet. For your interest, the fantasy zone is the where takes live the game Space Harrier.

I meet first time with this game a lot of time ago. When I had to buy my first game, at year 1992, i had to choose a cheap game. As I had game gear and Master Gear Converter, it should be one of the cheapest games of Master System. The fought was between My Hero and Fantasy Zone, and at least won this last game. It was cheapest (12 $) and at the back of the box it said that you can make your ship, and it was shown in a spanish magazine called hobby consolas. So Fantasy Zone wins.

When i went to my home the first thing i do was to play this game, and get surprised. The first stage never finished! And they didn't kill you. What i do was to go straight and keep pressed the two button. Few time after i discover that what i have to do is to destroy the bases for reaching the next stage. And if you took floor the ship didn't get destroyed because Opa Opa uses his legs for walking over the floor. Marvelous detail.

After this i listened his wonderful sound, his marvelous graphics, the shop, his terrible difficulty (and this with a enemy so cute are difficult to kill them). Appart from this, i usually let the machine go for seeing the intro. And this game has the following routine: Presentation screen, demo, presentation screen, demo, and this will be with each level. But at the end the game shows a story with a ultra lovely music. Pure Love that made me have the eyes near tearing. Few time after playing it, i lend my game to a friend, that liked it and near finishes it. And is a very difficult game.

And time passed, Opa Opa and me where separated definitively when i changed my room. I don't know exactly why, but it seems that my mother washed the robes with the Fantasy Zone cartrigde inside them. Luckily for me, i saved the instructions booklet, that were very great.

And years after, i discover that Opa Opa was in another games, appart from Fantasy Zone 2, Fantasy Zone: The Maze, Fantasy Zone for game gear and Super Fantasy Zone for mega drive, Opa Opa was also in Zillion tv series and Zillion games. Zillion was also the name of the Sega Light gun.
