“Is that ‘Funky Town?’”

SNK’s “Fantasy” is somehow multiple games in one, with cheery, bleepy-bloopy music (including an unauthorized sample from Funky Town that plays while running from a tiger) and makes use of pretty good digitized voice clips, while also not really being very good. It’s also the first thing that comes to mind when I pop in the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection for some reason.
