Description

You play as 18-year-old Amy, who is whisked away from her London home into an alternate world filled with fairies, elves, dwarves, and pixies. This is a PC game that plays a lot like a console game similar to the later Zelda games on Nintendo. It has also been compared to Pokemon because you must capture and train fairies and use them in battle against your opponent's fairies. You travel across several locations, finding map pieces, cards that, in combination with certain fairies, will enable you to access new locations, runes, keys, etc. This is a third-person, mixed genre game.

Trivia

Shortly after the game was released in Germany, an expansion pack was announced, and even some music made for it. The idea was dropped after Zanzarah sold very poorly all over the world.
