Rastan

Rastan

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

Story

The player controls a barbarian warrior who has set out to slay a dragon. On his way to the dragon's lair, Rastan must fight against hordes of hostile monsters modeled after mythical creatures such as chimeras and harpies.
