This game brings back a really great memory. Way back in the day, there was strip mall not far from where I lived, and in that strip mall was a video rental store. And there they had a Rastan arcade machine. I used to come home after school, cut thru a park to go there and play. After a while I got quite good at it. And one time, I beat the game on ONE QUARTER! I managed to have like 2 lives going into the last level (from which you didn't have an option to continue, but I went for it). I actually had like 5-6 or six people around me watching me play. I felt like an all star athlete with them cheering me on. And when I beat it, everyone was going nuts, jumping, high fives, pats on the back. I felt like a legend. And I watched the closing credits, and then left for my walk home. As the sun was setting, just like in Rastan in the closing credits, I felt like a champion who did something legendary. Good times :)
This version also gives back story, and you feel like you knew why Rastan fought and thought as he did. It fleshed him out and made him feel more real.
i swear both rastan, final fight, shinobi and double dragon were the 4 games i played at a local pizzeria when was a child. just thinking of those games brings back the vivid memory of the smell of pizza and garlic. i have them on mame now, and every time i play them i swear i can still smell the pizza. =D
SofaKingWeTodEd666 yea man. Pizza shops in ny always had the best games .. I remember my pizza shop had street fighter ghost n goblins contra an POW ... and that great smell of pizza n garlic lmaoooo... word thanks for bringing it back ..childhood was the best time in life
Thank you so much for uploading this game. I'm 32 now, but as a kid I remember walking down the street to a corner store to play this game. Brings back childhood memories. My personal opinion best era of video games made.
Kingsley Zissou I rode a huffy with a rusty chain and it got stolen down at the corner store. I ran home that day and climb up are tree in the back yard and screamed my lungs off for hours. My parents bought me a new bike and I hated it so much because it was a 10-speed Schwinn
I'm 44 now and I had the same share as y'all in going down the street to play it but for me it was a liquor store and LA donuts too and I was age 7 playing it. :) My favorite games back then were Rastan, Shinobi, 720, Double Dragon, Rygar and Ninja Kid.
The Music of this Game has got to be the greatest tracks ever made in the 80s..It simply never got old to me and hyped me up and kept me going back as a child..Ive never beat this game as i tried hard to..but i still enjoyed trying...this is one of the best ever
Haha... Me too! This game was in a fish and chip chop where in lived, me and my mates would stick all of our money in it. Seems such a short game, felt like forever trying to compete it
I was playing arcade games religiously between 1983 and around 1991. This was one of my absolute favorites and after seeing for the first time in 20 odd years, I can see why, the music, the background, the action, the villains, Rastan Saga is a great game.
Now, I LOVED Rastan as a kid...I couldn't tell you how many quarters of mine disappeared into that arcade game, but I couldn't have been the only one who thought that he was basically the Japanese Conan?
I completed this game at the arcade when I was 7. A much older boy taught me at the time. The music in this game was amazing for the time. Very atmospheric
If back in our days someone had made such a flawless playthrough at the arcade with one coin, he'd 've been carried in triumph around the town over the heads of us videogaming kids
I remember this game as a kid. Good times and great memories! This guy never got hurt once?! He’s a beast! “Dragon’s Lair”, “Space Ace” and this game were the best games to play in the 80’s. Arcades were in abundance everywhere. Not anymore unfortunately.
I was in the 7th grade on winter break. Was visiting my Uncle and Aunt in Denver. Went to some huge bowling alley that had two floors of arcade games and pinball machines. Spent close to 10 dollars in quarters playing Rastan. Quickly ran out of money and I still wanted to play Double Dragon II. Dad wouldn't give me any more quarters. Uncle just laughed.
Epic gameplay, I remember dumping a ton into this back in the day. The music was so loud and I loved it, I think the cabinet had a subwoofer installed as well. Definitely one of my favorites.
Cool play through, I remember this being so hard back in the day. But what drew me in was the music, this is really some of the best and most epic music I've heard anywhere. I'm happy to see others feeling the same way in these comments.
I'm going to build this game in Terraria. Level by level, recreating classic side scrolling games is my hobby. I've done Rygar, both Goonies games in one world & my last project was Wardner aka Pyros. Rastan has great level design values & this is why it's a favorite one of mine.
This game is a nightmare to actually beat. If you lose all your lives in the final stage including the final boss, you have to start from the beginning. The said last level itself has very frustrating level design, all of the game's enemy types at the most inconvenient places possible, traps everywhere and ect. And the final boss isn't much easier, it'a a dragon way bigger than the player that can breathe fire in the player's direction and fly (very slowly) wherever it wants, and the sheer pressure in the fight makes it even worse, you know that messing up once will send your sorry ass back to square one, which makes you super nervous. But once you do it, you feel like the biggest badass of all time!
I had this game for a few years as a kid and couldn't beat it. One day I was reading the Saga magazine and there was a cheat code for unlimited continues. I was able to beat it afterwards. Zillion, Shinobi, and Choplifter I could never beat until I could play on the computer using an emulator. Of those three Zillion was the only one that had a good ending. Shinobi was lame and Choplifter just ended. Was really let down!
wow I completely forgot about this game.....everything about it just took me back to memory lane hard....can't believe it after almost 30 yrs this was hidden in my subconscience
The best walkthrough i've ever seen for this game! Rastan was (and still is) really hard. I never managed to complete it in the arcades back in the day, but this video gives me an incentive to try it once more! The music is arguably the most memorable feature of Rastan (apart from the Conan-like overall theme).
Loved it so much. Completed it without dying. Last level doesn't let you continue if you run out of lives. I spent a fortune but eventually beat it. Keep moving forward and time those nightmare jumps. The bosses have easy patterns and only the first is really difficult.
Guild member: Rastan, what is best in life? Rastan: Crush your license agreements! See the copyright laws driven before you! And hear the lamentation of the royalties compensation!
This is the game that started the whole holding your weapon in a bad ass manner. Other games in this style were Legendary Axe for TG-16 and the side scrolling sections of Actraiser on the Snes. We need more Rastan like games!
What wonderful memories this brings back, many hours and many quarters spent on this game back in college. I remember so fondly the first time I won - what a rush. You are incredible! Very well played!
back in the day, while playing this game on the arcade I learned to curse like a crazy drunken sailor...it was infuriating and yet so wonderful. A masterpiece.
I remember going into the arcade at the bowling alley after grade 4 or 5 with two quarters, intending to play a game of Rastan and a game of Gauntlet. I went over to the Rastan machine and there were six credits loaded and nobody near it. It was glorious.
Back in the 80’s, I played this game for two hours in the entry area of a Diner in Saugerties, New York. Scap brings a great memories, I love the soundtrack..
This game takes me back to when I was in Jr. High, after school I used to run to the convenient store and drop at least 3 quarters in this game! Thanks for the upload!!!
OMG this is the one! I've been thinking about this game lately. I used to play it at a restaurant as a kid while we waited for our food. Could not remember the name of the game at all. Thanks for posting this and thank you UA-cam for your random recommendations.
So glad I pumped a few quarters in as a poor but adventurous pre teen. now i get to enjoy it stress free watching on UA-cam great sounds brings back sweet memories.
Back in 1987 we would sometimes skip college classes and go to the local arcade. Rastan was usually my go to game. I made to Stage 6 a couple of times and only to the final boss once but I didn't beat him. Rastan and R-Type were my favorite games with Dragon Spirit a close second.
4:23 Is one of the hardest rope jumps in retro arcade gaming. I love Rastan and still play on it a multi retro-game cabinet at a local arcade. The SMS version was pretty good.
from china , i remember in early 90s, chinese arcade coin is 1 CNY for 4 coin, I spend a whole afternoon, with 20CNY(2 doller) 80 coin, and never get to level 3, this game is too hard
This is Best of the best gameplay.I know because i played it the year it came out and several following years on the arcade cabinet.I tested all that came out in mid 1980's - 1990' and tell that in the platform genre this was very well balanced,tested and caught your interest so you wanted to make it until the end boss.
so many colorful characters and monsters in this game I saw a "chimera" and maybe a "gargoyle" I am curious about what other kind of mythological creatures, plus the stage bosses were cool and had their own background (snake, goat, dragon, etc.,)
How did i forgot this game? I watched people play it and was mesmerized. Then I tried it and never got past level 1. The mechanics were the bomb, the music / art were epic. Now I got to see all the way to the end will skillful play. Very very good.
Would love to see a modern remake of this game. With the power of today's systems you could get beautiful super detailed sprites and better backgrounds. The game needs more variety. The levels all feel the same :wilderness, castle, boss. Speaking of variety a modern remake would need a larger variety of musical themes, this is the same 3 themes over and over. All that having been said, when this game first came out in the arcades it was absolutely stunning. It was way more advanced than any home console that existed at the time.
What a year was 1987!! This game was available in most arcades and Guns n' Roses Appetite for destruction was released. I recall playing this game with my walkman on listening to nightrain... cherised memories snifffs...
An awesome game the Music and Graphics were really great and were more then impressive back at the time,the music still holds its own and has been incredibly remade with actual vocals and could be in any Fantasy epic movie.
I have incredible memories playing this game at the local Pizza place when I was in 5th grade. I always had a pocket full of quarters when I'd ride my skateboard down to that mall.
5:37 when you beat the boss without getting hit once in the level you get 66600 points. Rastan = Satan + R In Japanese, R=L. L phonetically EL. so RASTAN = EL SATAN
FINALLY! I've been trying to find out what arcade game was at this Italian fast food restaurant I went to when I was a kid over 25 years ago! I kept telling friends it had this barbarian guy who starts the first level landing on the ground with mountains in the background, but everyone kept saying it was Magic Sword. While that good game also made an appearance at the same restaurant, I knew that wasn't the one I was talking about. It was this game here but I didn't know the title...until now.
I played this game three times in my life: 1. In my childhood at a video store 2. In my childhood at Las Vegas Circus Circus 3. As an adult on MAME So great to relive my childhood memories 😊

I too have fond memories of encountering this game as a young kid. Found it at a rec center and it was free to play!!!
Well played Sir! 🏆🥇
To wear your new crown on a troubled brow.
I'm better than you at this game!
One of the all time greatest soundtracks for a game of it's era.
It was a thrill to hear Rastan on the Orchestra Medley on Video Games Live many years back!!
The C-64 game adaptation of the score was pretty good too
@@resofactor MOS6581 truly was ahead of its time ;D I still prefer the C=64 version.
Is it an all time greatest soundtrack or for its era?
@@Frankf9382 I don't know about EVER - I just liked playing it on my C-64 as a kid.
i swear both rastan, final fight, shinobi and double dragon were the 4 games i played at a local pizzeria when was a child. just thinking of those games brings back the vivid memory of the smell of pizza and garlic.
i have them on mame now, and every time i play them i swear i can still smell the pizza. =D
+SofaKingWeTodEd666 If I rubbed my penis head with garlic sauce and smushed it in pizza, would you sniff it while playing your games on mame?
The TRUTH lmao
Go to 5:37. When you beat the first level boss without getting hit once you get 66600 points.
Rastan = Satan + R

I loved it so much I made a clothing brand to commemorate it. Its called Reagan Era check @le365 on Instagram

This game makes me miss arcades so much.
Thank you so much for uploading this game. I'm 32 now, but as a kid I remember walking down the street to a corner store to play this game. Brings back childhood memories. My personal opinion best era of video games made.
Funny I'm 37 and I also remember walking down to the corner store to play this game.
Same, but I rode a BMX bike.

THAT MUSIC!! Some one was going hard on that synthesizer!! XD
+roughy762004 The music reminds me of the lesbian sex scene from the movie "Caligula".
+Masculine Buddha don't remember; now you made me look it up.
lol just about to comment on this bad ass music!! haha nvm, you hit the nail on the head!!

The best part of this game? The OST! Almost thirty years and it's still as epic as then.
Cant believe i just sat and watched the whole thing
Same..... The amount of pocket money I dropped in this game is obscene. At least I finally saw the ending!
Haha... Me too! This game was in a fish and chip chop where in lived, me and my mates would stick all of our money in it. Seems such a short game, felt like forever trying to compete it

I used to play this in the arcades back in '87 when I was 10; what a classic but sadly forgotten gem!
Hours and hours playing this game at the liquor store 1987-88- good times in life
just been playing this, and god its as solid as i remember playing it in the arcades back in the 80s :)

Rastan is an original IP. Do not steal.
This is the game that started the whole holding your weapon in a bad ass manner. Other games in this style were Legendary Axe for TG-16 and the side scrolling sections of Actraiser on the Snes.
We need more Rastan like games!
Spent my weekly allowance playing this game at the local 7 Eleven in my town.
What wonderful memories this brings back, many hours and many quarters spent on this game back in college. I remember so fondly the first time I won - what a rush. You are incredible! Very well played!
Love Rastan Sagas music, i had an HMX
taito produced a playstation 2 collection in 2005. i bought it just for rastan.still love this game, cool play thru!
back in the day, while playing this game on the arcade I learned to curse like a crazy drunken sailor...it was infuriating and yet so wonderful. A masterpiece.
One of my favorites from back in the day, this and ghouls n ghosts. Luckily have them both on taito legends and capcom classics on my early ps3!
The most badass video game of all time with the best soundtrack ever
I remember going into the arcade at the bowling alley after grade 4 or 5 with two quarters, intending to play a game of Rastan and a game of Gauntlet. I went over to the Rastan machine and there were six credits loaded and nobody near it. It was glorious.
That is always great,to find free plays.

GREAT GAMEPLAY.ONE OF THE HARDEST ARCADES BACK THEN.IN FACT THERE WERE VERY FEW PERSONS THAT DEAL WITH IT.VERY ADRENALINE CICKING GAME.THANX.
It looks and sounds like a game that could've been from the conan the barbarian franchise of the 80s 😁 love it
Pretty sure it was heavily influenced by Conan.
Music 10/10! LOVED this game as a kid!
With many, many apologies to the estate of Robert E Howard
The background at 3:35 looks very very Tolkien-y though. :)
OMG I used to play this game all the time at a local Pizza Hut when I was a kid!!!!!!!
This looks pretty cool, especially for the time.
