BydoEmpire Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Moving onward into the Winter/Spring round, let's stay arcadey. Here's another game i always wanted to try but never have: Fantasy Zone The Maze. Seems like a fun title, and I'm looking forward to getting to know it better. Instructions: https://www.smspower.org/Manuals/FantasyZoneTheMaze-SMS-US This round runs Jan 30 - Feb 12 For a bonus point, play the original Fantasy Zone. Totals: @jeremiahjt 58,650(+1) @BydoEmpire 43,290 (+1) @fakecortex 32,000 (+1) @Dashopepper 23,330 @jblenkle 10,120 Edited February 12 by BydoEmpire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremiahjt Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Does it matter which world you start on in Fantasy Zone: The Maze? I chose PLALEAF, the Green Planet, to start on. It is the upper left one, so the one your cursor starts on. For my first attempt, I scored 22,440. I scored 45,700 on Fantasy Zone for my bonus point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 It doesn't matter to me, start on any planet. More variety. If there are scoring advantages to one over another, well, that's for the players to discover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 I'm really digging this game! 43,290. I tried starting on a couple of later levels and they're tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremiahjt Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Tried it again starting from the Green Planet PLALEAF and made it through the Sun Planet TABAS and into the second round of the Sand Planet LA DUNE. New score is 58,650. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremiahjt Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Slight improvement to 65,240. I started on PLALEAF again, but this time I ended on the first round of LA DUNE. Fortunately I was scoring better on the first 8 rounds so my score is still higher. One thing about this game, I think if you are familiar with the first two Fantasy Zones then this game is a little easier. I have never really played the Fantasy Zone games before, so I have no idea what all the power-ups do and the nuances of the game. Now I am starting to pick up on that stuff, but it is all new to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BydoEmpire Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Got in a few games of Fantasy Zone this evening. One of those games I enjoy even though I stink at it. I got a slightly higher score after this, but wouldn't make any difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it help to have a specific weapon? Do the bombs do anything against him? I can dodge the seeds for a while, but eventually they always get me.

I can dodge the seeds for a while, but eventually they always get me. I thought the first boss was pretty easy, and the second for that matter. There were always large gaps in seeds for me to get through. Maybe I just got lucky the two times I faced that first boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I guess I know what I’m doing? Lol... FZ:TM - 32,000 And a bonus point for what feels like a really low, but funny, score in a game that I can’t get a good handle on. FZ - 2,600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
