The Fantasy Zone is a solar system consisting of eight brightly colored, fantastic planets. The evil Menons are trying to take over all of the planets in the Fantasy Zone by using misappropriated foreign currency to build their forces. It is the player's job to recover all of the coins and save the solar system!

Fantasy Zone is an arcade style shooter for one or two players. The goal is to destroy all of the creatures on each planet and collect as many of the lost coins as possible. To be allowed to battle the boss of a level player will have to locate with the help of their radar ten of the enemy bases and destroy them. The boss enemy that will then have to be defeated before moving on to the next world.

At various points in the game, the player will be able to find a parts shop, which allows purchasing improvements for his spaceship, including better weapons and faster engines.

Some differences worth noting when comparing the original arcade version to its ports are:

Sega Master System and MSX version - Lacks the base location radar, six bases are found per stage as opposed to the original ten, two of the bosses are completely different.

NES Sunsoft version - There are only eight bases per stage instead of ten.

NES Tengen version - There are only six bases per stage instead of ten.

Sharp X68000 version - Contains an arrange mode in which the bases drop letters in the word Harrier. Spelling Harrier in each level will reward the player an extra themed level called Dragon Land that lets the player battle all the bosses from Space Harrier.

3DS version - Has game options like setting the number of lives to start with, setting the difficulty level, and selecting the firing speed of the ships weapons. Once a level is unlocked it becomes available on a level select screen. Also, coins get added to a coin stock and can be carried over to subsequent games.

This version also has an unlockable Upa-Upa mode where the player controls Opa-Opa’s brother. In this mode, weapons can be switched on the fly, with the penalty being that each shot will cost the player coins. The game also has a unique ending which differs from the original version. Another unlockable in this game replaces two of the Arcade version bosses with the Sega Master System's versions bosses.
