Rastan is a fantasy-themed side-scrolling action game originally released for the arcades in 1987.
The controls of Rastan consist of an eight-way joystick and two buttons for attacking and jumping. Using the joystick in combination with either button, the player can determine the height of Rastan's jumps and the direction in which he swings his weapon. The game uses a health gauge system along with limited lives, although certain obstacles will instantly kill Rastan regardless of how much health he has left.

What crazy Sound lol. I liked it, but odd. I got to the first boss and uh, way too hard. The swarms of bats earlier should've been my sign. If only the power-ups lasted longer. I liked it at first because everything seemed so intuitive and I was finding different weapons/power-ups. But I got too frustrated with the gameplay.
