Rastan Saga (ラスタンサーガ?), known in North America simply as Rastan, is a 1987 hack and slash platform arcade game developed and published by Taito.

Game Play

The player controls the barbarian named Rastan, who has to cross a number of levels and defeat enemies inspired by Greek mythology while avoiding obstacles and traps. The game consists of six rounds with three scenes per round. To clear each round, players must reach the third scene and defeat the castle boss. The player can pick up new weapons by stabbing them with the sword and items by walking over them. Some weapons and items include axes, hammers, fire swords, jewels, shields and mantles. The game’s background graphics featured broad landscapes with changing sunlight effects with detail and clarity not previously seen in video games.
[edit] Regional differences

Unlike the Japanese version, the North American and European versions were never released as a full size dedicated cabinet in the arcades. Instead, the game was released as a “kit” conversion; a kit conversion allowed the arcade operator to convert an existing game cabinet into the “kit” game by providing new buttons, joysticks, decal stickers, marquees, monitor bezels, wiring harnesses, manuals, and the game PCB. The original opening to the story was not included in the North American nor the European version of the game. In it, the game explains that he would be given all the treasures of an empire for exchange of a terrible dragon’s head.
