Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams is a scrolling shooter arcade game, released on Sega's Sega System 16B Arcade system board in 1989. It is the first in the Cotton series of videogames. It was ported to both the Sharp X68000 and the NEC TurboGrafx-CD in 1993. The TurboGrafx-CD version was released on Super CD-ROM and features an enhanced redbook audio soundtrack and voice acting on the Japanese release. The game was later ported to Sony PlayStation under the title Cotton Original in 1999. The PlayStation release combines the enhanced digital CD-ROM soundtrack of TurboGrafx-CD release and the gameplay/graphics of the original Arcade version. A version was ported to the Neo Geo Pocket Color in 2000. Due to hardware limitations the Neo Geo Pocket Color features less detailed graphics and sound compared to previous versions, however it is still a faithful version of the original in terms of gameplay.

Cute, good tunes, funny death sound, neat idea of a witch shooting out of her finger, full of good power-ups and I like the Exp system

However, I dunno, after the depth of FF4 and fun of Legend of the Mystical Ninja, I just can';t seem to click with this. Shmups were never my preferred genre, and they've lost their …

However, I dunno, after the depth of FF4 and fun of Legend of the Mystical Ninja, I just can';t seem to click with this. Shmups were never my preferred genre, and they've lost their freshness.

I made a goal to finish the first Stage and did it. Neat boss there, and cute Tea Time segment at the end of the level :-p But moving on. Play this for sure if you're a shmup/cute em up fan.

I played through the Neo Geo Pocket Color port of this one. The first game in the classic horizontal shmup series, Cotton. In this game you are a witch kid named Cotton, who flies around on a broomstick and shoots down loads of cute enemies. Pretty straightforward, but it's nice simple fun. My favorite parts of this game were the little cut scenes between levels, which shows Cotton not caring at all about saving the fairy world, and instead is only concerned about the candy reward she's been promised. The translated dialogue is extremely stilted for these bits, which makes it all even funnier. Now I wish there was a kids comedy anime from the early 90s for Cotton -- that would've been great.
