Fantasy is an action game developed by SNK and released for arcades in October 1981. It was licensed to Rock-Ola[2] for North American release in February 1982. The game is controlled with a single joystick.[3] One level plays the melody from the song "Funkytown".[4] 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.[5]

The game runs on the SNK 6502 arcade system board,[6] also known as the SNK Rockola hardware.[7] Other games that run on the same hardware are Sasuke vs. Commander (1980), Zarzon (1981) and Vanguard (1981).[6][7]
