Forza 3 painter recreates Fantasy Zone's boxart
NihonTiger90 \| 1:10 PM on 11.04.2009	6 comments

Forza 3 has been out for, what, a week or so now, and we're not only getting some great real-world replica paint jobs, but some amazing custom ones as well, including a few video game-related ones. But few can compare to this amazing custom paint job for a Nissan 370Z, featuring the Sega Master System classic title Fantasy Zone. It's just too gorgeous for words, so here are pictures:

*drool*

All glory for this belongs to Xbox Live user and Forza 3 painter Private Custard, who has done an incredible job on the car. I mean, look at it: that looks like Fantasy Zone's box art to perfection! And he's managed to wrap it around the car in such a way that it looks really cool, too, from the Sega logo on the front bumper to the side panels having a faithful recreation of the scene displayed in a screenshot on the back of the box itself. If you have Forza 3, it's on his storefront: just search "Fantasy Zone Sega Master System" and have 10K in in-game credits ready to buy it. Oh, and reminder: it's for the Nissan 370Z, so you'll need one of those, too.

All of this has possibly inspired me to start thinking about painting a classic car you might all remember from back in the day:

... Or at least find someone willing to take up the challenge of doing it.

Thats awesome, I hope more classic VG designs come out like this.
Personally I haven't got a Pikachu car, but I did make a ClapTrap Car :)

Cronosblade made that Pikachu car :D

Also amazing Fantasy Zone car! I still have the Master System cartridge right here. So sorry I sold my Master System with games for a hundred bucks when I was 14 :(

I was not amused when my Tachikoma, Konata and Soul Eater cars wouldn't port across to Forza 3. They took bloody ages.

Then I noticed that people had already made the same things in stickers on the storefront that looked 10 times better. I has a sad.

about me

Oh, hi there. Didn�t see you enter. Anyways, welcome to my humble little blog. For those of you not familiar with who I am, the name�s Brian. I�m 23 years old and hail from Lorain, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. I work at the local newspaper here as a copy editor, putting my four long years of college to actual use. Kind of. I think.

For those of you who might recognize me from elsewhere, I work as Assistant Gaming Editor over at Blogcritics Gaming and as Features Editor over at Tomopop. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it because I get to do a lot of cool shit with a lot of cool people.

I've been gaming since the relatively young age of around 3 and I've played plenty of games, both good and bad. I'm continuously expanding my gaming collection, which has become more of an archive in recent years as I'm focusing on collecting older, less well-known titles. You'd honestly be surprised on what people are missing out on in bargain bins...

Other than gaming, I love anime, manga, sports, movies, TV, and a whole lot more. I also happen to have something of a legendary love for Cammy, to the point that I am the site's unofficial official Cammy fanboy. And yes, I do play as her in Street Fighter and do so quite well, too.

Also, I am Chad Concelmo's B.F.F., my prize for coming in first in The Great Retro Quiz .18 - ActRaiser. Accept no substitutes. Not even Aerox.
