Funny World & Balloon Boy is an unlicensed Sega Mega Drive game compilation developed by AV artisan and published by Realtec. Released in the United States and Taiwan in 1993, it is most known for being one of few unlicensed Mega Drive games to be primarily released in the United States, and for its notably garish cover artwork.

A single-screen action game. Left and Right move around, A shoots (you can only shoot straight up), and B jumps. The goal of each level is to shoot at balloons, collecting goodies that come out of some of them but avoiding traps that come out of some others.

History

Development

This is the only Realtec game which makes use of the mapper functionality of their special mapper; each game occupies one mapper bank. All other Realtec games (as well as this one) would otherwise use the mapper for copy protection.
