Fantasy Zone	Sega	1986	[100]* [4]* [72]*Budget version [72]* [22]* [52]Take command of the spaceship Opa-Opa and blast your way through various fantastical levels as you try to take out all the enemy bases in each stage. Once you've destroyed the bases, you'll have to beat the stage boss in order to move on to the next level. By using your guns and bombs wisely, you'll be able to take down your enemies and explore each of the crazy environments in this side-scroller. You can also buy upgraded weapons for your ship by accessing the shop. Various Sega games through the years have referenced the Opa-Opa-now you can play the game that started it all.**Fantasy Zone is one of the early Shoot'em Up Games from SEGA. Introducing Opa-Opa, the Hero of the Fantasy Zone, you have to destroy several floating Monster Generators in order to get to huge Bosses and to free your friends and the whole Fantasy Zone from the Invasion of Aliens. Earn money by destroying Aliens, and use that money to power up Opa-Opa with all kinds of neat things like Lasers, Turbo-Engines, Big Megaton Bombs and stuff like that. In my opinion a great game, the difficulty is the only bad point about it, since it's quite tough to beat your foes. But, once you get into the gameplay mechanisms you won't stop so easily.

With 16 different levels to conquer in order to save Egle, this classic is sure to test your skills and your wits at the same time.*Great little platformer that I used to love when I was a bit younger.

Captain Silver	Sega;Tec Toy (Data East)	1988	[70]* [33]* [49]* [17]* [62]* [72]* [22]* [1]* [52]*In Captain Silver, you play the role of Jim, a brave young lad with a taste of adventure. You embark on a journey to find Captain Silver's secret treasure hoard, which is rumored to be hidden on an island in the Eastern Seas. There are six scenes in the game. During his travels, Jim will explore villages, fight his way on board ships, venture through caves, and wander around tropical islands. In each of these six scenes, Jim must use his sword to kill cats, rats, bats, witches, skeletons, and other creatures that are waiting for him. When Jim touches, or is shot at, by a creature, he loses one of his lives, but when he kills a creature, he can collect some gold that they leave behind, which can be used to buy items from shops. However, rather than getting gold, enemies leave behind some gold containing one of the letters that spell the word "CAPTAIN SILVER". If Jim manages to get all of these letters, he will be awarded an extra life. Jim may only use his sword to start off with, but once he collects a fairy that floats toward him in every scene, Jim will be able to shoot stars at enemies, making his kills more efficient. The maximum number of stars that he can have is six. There are other power-ups that Jim can collect in the game. These include the "clock" power-up, which gives Jim extra time; the "boot" power-up which allows Jim to jump higher; and the "coffee?" power-up, which enables Jim to shield himself from creatures until he is hit by one. There is a boss in each scene, which he must defeat in order to proceed to the next round. There is also a certain time limit, which Jim must complete the scene before it expires. If he does not, then he will lose a life.*There are two version of this cart.
