Opa Opa

Opa Opa (sometimes spelled Opa-Opa) is a sentient space ship from the Fantasy Zone series. Fantasy Zone is an arcade game released by Sega in 1985. Later, it was ported to a number of consoles, including the Sega Master System. It stars Opa-Opa, who fights nonsensical invader enemies in the Fantasy Zone. Because the settings are atypical of traditional scrolling shooter and pastel colors, it is sometimes called a "cute 'em up". == Fantasy Zone==

In the space year 6216 (1422 in the original Arcade version), the Fantasy Zone was cast in panic at the collapse of the interplanetary monetary system. The Space Guild reveals the plans of the planet Menon, whose forces are stealing the other planets' currencies to fund a huge fortress in the Fantasy Zone. Opa-Opa is sent to stop the invading army and find out who is behind it. In the end, it turns out that the leader was none other than Opa-Opa's long lost father, a revelation that leaves Opa-Opa with mixed emotions.
