Not the Sweetest Fantasy, Not a Nightmare

User Rating: 6 | Fantasy ARC

Fantasy is an early arcade game by SNK and featured on the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection. In the game you are a man, Tom, seeking to rescue his beloved Cheri from the various baddies that kidnap her throughout the game. It is totally movement based, controlling Tom or his balloon, dodging baddies or luring them into harms way. By today's standards the game is short and simplistic. However, for the time the variety in locations, gameplay, and loose storyline +ending (vs. endless repeating stages) are notable and help the game be more engaging than the average affair available back then. Overall, probably a game most could miss, but may be worth playing for a true retro arcade enthusiast.
