Magical Fairy Force is the work of programmer Ryan Witmer (under the AverageSoftware label), published through AtariAge as part of the 5200's homebrew revival: the player chooses among eight different characters to fight one-on-one aerial duels, with a character-select system presented almost like a classic fighting-game intro. Its colorful aesthetic and varied cast set it apart within a homebrew catalog that tends to lean more toward direct action. It's another example of how the 5200 keeps receiving, four decades after its release, original offerings designed from scratch for the hardware rather than simple adaptations of existing games.
