Oh dam just realised theres no way this could be master system version. Man how times have changed the MS version of this game looks terrible , but i loved it at tthe time. I guess this is playing on his PC through MAME
Memories. Is this the Masters stystem version. I used to play that version as a kid. I just cant recall if i ever did complete it with one life. I did remember it being very hard and taking me ages to complete though. My mate finished it first (it was his game i used to borrow lol), and i was like all "WOW".
I used to play this game all the time when it came out but the only machine in town had a bug and it used to crash at a particular point - 1.56 reminds me of it but I don't know if that is the spot as I remember the later material. It was a diagonal with water at bottom. Man it used to shit me I couldn't get past it cos of the fucking machine
I need to thank you for showing me how to defeat that stage 3 boss here. Shukumas or what he's called. Damn, I've spent a fortune in credits on him now. =)
What I'd like to know is how all those topless female beasts (harpies, medusas, and I think angels) got past the video game censors. Is it just because they didn't appear until Stage 2 and censors never play that far?
@chriskallen1 Oh, they're pretty frontal in the manual for the Sega version as well. The thing is, there were no video game censors at the time (except for Nintendo's in-house publishing board). Happy days.
You are a true Master.Really enjoyed watching these videos.I remember this game from the arcades and I have it on a PC compilation.The music is superb only bettered by Turrican 1 on the Amiga I think.Love to see you do that game, I have completed it but not Rastan.Cheers.
At the tail end of the video, you guys will have noticed how much more reach the mace weapon has against the regular sword, fire sword and axe, as it actually killed the boss of Round 4 without him counterattacking.
Extraordinary agility with this fantasy-platformer, I recall playing it at Preston college days, I remember it was incredibly atmospheric and detailed. The orange lion/goat/snake multi-headed creatures are Chimeras, by the way. Nasty things that have multiple attacks and magic resistance in AD&D.
ahhh, like I replied on your other post, I didn't do a speed run. I try to take all of the side routes which does take longer and I try to avoid taking hits...
I used to play this game, it's quite challening. Problem is there is no savepoint to resume. However it's an arcade so it won't have any savepoint. Man you're good!
i have a great mp3 that some body w too much time on there hands put together send me a msg if you want me to e mail it to you it rocks if you like that sort of thing .... boddtor
However I dont recall the bosses being so lame in my game. How comes they dieing so fast? The bosses used to be challenging if i remember correctly.

This game might look easy, but its brutally difficult. Along with Ghost 'N Goblins, these two games form the core of early arcade platformers!
Great gameplay, and nice videos!

Dood, I think you're a beast. The timing, the patience, who cares if you're 1st, 2nd or whatever. I think you have crazy Rastan skillz !
