Fantasio for SEGA Genesis… this games LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!
This was another thrift store find. Cost a cool $2. Based on the Disney Musical…

But despite looking cool, it plays like crap. The controls are terrible. You can kill enemies by using spells, or by jumping on them. Just make sure you hold down when you jump on those enemies. It won’t change the animation any but its the only way you won’t lose hearts. It makes no sense!

The game almost feels like a demo to me. Graphically, it’s amazing. The bottle in the picture below shimmers (obviously it’s a static picture, but trust me it shimmers.) There is also alot of foreground-paralax scrolling which really gives the game some depth.

The game shares some of the same songs and scenes from the movie. The artists took alot of time to make this game look great. Too bad the execution was terrible.
