SKIP TO 1:27 - the capture device encountered an error and there is some dead air oops...
Yes its spelled Fantasic lol. A fun obscure pinball game for the Saturn only released in Japan. The music and art style are beautiful but the pinball physics are still stuck in the 16bit era, if you know what I mean. Captured from actual console via RGB SCART to OSSC, no emulation")

This game in the arcade is one of my top 5 game experiences ever! It has a wonderful sit down version and it includes a yoke style control similar to the Star Wars arcade game from the early 80s. This version feels like a rush job in the Midway Arcade Treasures 3 lineup, like they slapped in some emulation running at the incorrect speed and bad sound effects - making it a very poor version of the game. It is running much too fast compared to how it runs in the arcade, making it awkward to play correctly. Thus, your best option aside from playing the arcade original would be to probably use Mame. Recorded from actual console.")
