Fantasy Zone (317-5000)
The Fantasy Zone is under attack by an army of ruthless, yet undeniably cute, alien enemies. A fearless space fighter by the name of 'Opa-opa' (a craft that is as cute as the game's enemies, featuring wings and feet - the latter appearing whenever the player flies down to ground level at the bottom of the screen) must stop the alien invasion to restore peace to the Fantasy Zone, as well as finding his missing father, 'Opapa', in the process.
Each level has a number of large, enemy generating ships, that produce a constant stream of enemies to attack the player. While the enemies the generators produce can either be shot or avoided, the generators themselves MUST be destroyed. Once the generators are gone, an end-of-level ship will appear that must be beaten to complete the level.
Fantasy Zone is rendered with the surreal, brightly coloured graphics that typify many Japanese videogames; with an equally abstract approach to in-game weapons: with that cartoon comedy staple, the 'anvil', making an appearance.

TODO:
* Wanted: 317-0016 FD1089 CPU
Bugs:
- The background briefly gets corrupted when I start a game and get ready to play. This is a long existing "one-frame" issue but clearly a bug and never seen on the real arcade. Fujix (ID 01852)
WIP:
- 0.138u1: Cools, Andrew Welburn and The Dumping Union added clone Fantasy Zone (317-5000). Changed parent description to 'Fantasy Zone (Rev A, unprotected)' and clone 'Fantasy Zone (set 1, unprotected)' to 'Fantasy Zone (unprotected)'.
- 3rd October 2009: Smitdogg - Andy Conroy dumped unmamed clone of Fantasy Zone (bootleg). I haven't looked at them closely and I don't know if they will all be added but... Cool news.
- 0.133u1: hap fixed a bug related to eating cycles during 68k cpu reset. Previously, initial_cycles had a wrong value after reset, and if cycles were < 0, it'd always return 0. This change also happens to fix a scrolling bug in Fantasy Zone, introduced when that cycle eating thing was added. Renamed (fantzon1) to (fantzone1).
- 0.92: Changed description to 'Fantasy Zone (set 2, unprotected)' and clone '(Old Ver., unprotected)' to '(set 1, unprotected)'. Renamed (fantzono) to (fantzon1).
- 0.89u1: Changed Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 4MHz.
- 0.88u7: Changed description to 'Fantasy Zone (Japan New Ver., unprotected)' and clone '(Old Ver.)' to '(Old Ver., unprotected)'. Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 5MHz palettesize to 6144 colors.
- 0.36b15: Added Fantasy Zone (Japan New Ver.). Changed 'Fantasy Zone' to clone '(Old Ver.)'. Renamed (fantzone) to (fantzono).
- 0.36b2: Removed uPD7759 sound.
- 0.36b1: Added dipswitches 'Cabinet', 'Demo Sounds', 'Lives', 'Extra Ship Cost' and 'Difficulty.
- 0.34b4: Phil Stroffolino added Fantasy Zone (Sega 1988), not working.
