Zanzarah is a game I played in my childhood. I constantly come back and play more playthroughs maining different fairies each time. I have probably been through the game a couple dozen times at this point. It is just a surreal experience. I recommend to anyone who hasn't played it. You may have to do some work with DgVooDoo however!

I've known this game for a long time and it's definitely one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. I love everything about it - the story,the mechanics(which some might simplify to a pokemon clone),collecting fairies and training them,evolving them,knowing their strengths and weaknesses which leads to on the fly strategies when you are facing adversaries' fairies in the arena.The music is absolutely superb and calming. I really wish someone would pick it up and remaster it like they did with the original Tomb Raider series.It would be wonderful to see all the fairies and environments in all their beautiful glory - but in HD.

Probably the best story game I have ever played, the story, the gameplay, the feel, everything is just perfect. I beat the game many many times and I will do it many more times, never gets old. Zanzarah 2 would be dream come true, literally.

Look up how to fix the graphics and stuttering but otherwise it's a pretty fun world to explore. Nauseating if you suffer from virtual sickness.
