Fantasy

Fantasy is a simple 2D arcade game. The main hero must rescue his girlfriend as she was kidnapped by pirates. After the rescue, other hijackers appear all the time - the hero is busy non-stop. Each level is different - ballooning, pirate ship, jungles, a village full of savages ...There are no buttons to interact with - only the joystick. Most of the time, the hero must avoid the enemies - but sometimes (for example in the village), he can automatically use a sword.

The game is controlled with a single joystick. One level plays the melody from the song "Funkytown". According to the book Gamers: Writers, Artists & Programmers on the Pleasures of Pixels, this is the first arcade video game to have a continue feature.

The game runs on the SNK 6502 arcade system board, also known as the SNK Rockola hardware. Other games that run on the same hardware are Sasuke vs. Commander (1980), Zarzon (1981) and Vanguard (1981).
