Zip zap crap: Great Soccer - Great Basketball - Fantasy Zone II | Segaiden

Fantasy Zone II arrives as the delicious filling in this week's terrible, terrible sandwich as Sega closes out its 1987 lineup with that ultimate game review cliché: A mixed bag. With the likes of Great Soccer and Great Basketball on hand, this is not so much closing the book on the year as it is driving a nail into its coffin. Once again, it's up to Opa Opa to save the day... with a little help from Team Sega, as it happens.

On to 1988! You know, eventually.
