Rastan - World Record Speedrun -

Rastan's speedrun below 17 minutes.
60fps gameplay
• Rastan - World Record ...
Played on WolfMAME and recorded with camera. If you want to see me playing you can go here; • Rastan - World Record ...
If you want the .INP files, just tell me.
By the way, I have no idea what happened with the last boss. It's the first time (and hoping is the last one) that he behave that way.
It must be some kind of very rare and weird bug.

Well done. You've crushed your enemies, saw them driven before you, and made us hear the lamentation of their women.

In just over 15 minutes Rastan killed two evil wizards, an Amazon, an evil knight, a hydra, and a dragon, not to mention countless minions. What did you do today?

How dd Rastan kill the dragon, at the end, so quickly? That did not take many hits.

rastan had the best music

[@mukankakuna]

Great music indeed.

[@pietjebel9130]

I fully agree

[@zborgerd]

It's so hard to believe that this game was from 1987. Truly cutting-edge. There was a time when Taito were unstoppable! The music never seems to get old. I love Taito and Zuntata! This game really deserved a Genesis Megadrive port, which it never got. Would have been the best home conversion outside of Taito Legends. As a kid, I used to find this game challenging, but pretty much owned it in my later years.

[@Mattblaze1477]

Sega Genesis did come out with Rastan Saga 2 from Taito but it wasn't very good.. Agree I would have loved a Genesis port of the original. Nowadays I play the original port of Rastan on my Taito Legends game for PS2.

[@beng4151]

This game takes me back to arcades when I was younger! I don't think I saw anyone make it past the first stage. Most of the time, they never made it to the boss. A tough game!

[@dexocube]

Incredible run bro. Anybody who has played the game knows how insane an achievement this is.

[@mukankakuna]

Thank you very much. I spent a whole summer to get it. It was a very tiring task to the point that I have never done anything like it again (and I don't have any desire to do it).

[@plastique45]

You are a brave youtuber to have uploaded such a difficult video.

[@alimohammedabd]

The music in this game is brilliant. Brings back a lot of memories. We don't have hardly any arcades in Ireland anymore. It's a shame.

[@ynamaxa]

First Arcade game I ever saw. I was completely lost after this. Love this. Thanx for the upload!

[@MacavityF]

Except same experience. Saw it as a 6 year old and it blew my mind. Nothing came close until I discovered Double Dragon a short time later.

[@marcryptic]

Awesome. I played this game a lot at Round Table Pizza when I was 8 or 9 and found it so frustrating that I was so pumped when I finally made it to stage 2. Never made it past that though. Always thought the graphics seemed bad ass for the time.

[@jimneegs3887]

Yup, I played this game every time I went to shakeys as a kid, and never could get through the first level, always died in the water!

[@RazorfaceYT]

Great job and amazing skill! This is one of the most difficult games I've played due to it's limited number of continues. Best arcade soundtrack ever imo. I just beat this game for the first time, but it took me closer to 4 hours LOL

[@williamsixx9082]

In the 80s i played at this game near my home at the bar ....Arcade Games are Legends and we lived in that era. ❤️👊

[@mikesanborn4541]

This was such a catharsis after so many quarters lost in the machine at Steven's pizza.

[@alexgriffin3959]

I remember being wowed by this in the arcade. Best music and sound effects ever!

[@GnJs6PackTraining]

Haven't beaten this game with one credit. Legend run. Made it look easy, as someone who's played this a lot. I know this was very very difficult. I've only gotten to level three without dying.

[@stewiedarkinvisibleid]

Wow, amazing playthrough of my favorite arcade game of it's time! I remember only ever getting to maybe level six, so it was great fun to actually see the ending! Much thanks!

I used to really love this game for some reason in arcades the graphics were great fir the time and the music is quite awesome. Underrated classic

[@jabrowski_]

amazing run. liked and subbed. the time you got is very demonic, i love it.

[@leesmith1171]

Well done!! I've beat this game before but only after the fact I might add a few times, that dieing on the last level sends you back regardless! I have since learned this is not the only game to employ that tactic. If I was low on lives I'd get a continue screen on purpose with the level 5 boss to increase my chances, and thus it was beaten!! Good stuff man! Well done.

[@frostgreen5527]

Thanks for the game play, I was too young to play it when it was out 9 , but I still remember everyone gathering to play that game.

[@mukankakuna]

Thanks for the comment. By the way, at that time I never could finish it.

[@chriswray403]

I remember drawing a small crowd in the 80s for my Rastan skills - I was never this good!!!

[@mukankakuna]

Back then I should be part of that crowd. I loved this arcade but was to difficult for me and my coins didn't last too much so instead of play it for myself I just watched others gameplays.

+Star Child I hear you. These games made the pizza joints the place to be. So many great side scrollers back then. Rastan and Shinobi had running back like a fiend lol.

[@melvinvasquez8518]

Yes I remember the great arcade era. How fortunate were we. I was one of those noobs, lol. Trash talk never got to me. The endless row of quarters lined up on the cabinet usually got me. Waiting like 20 mins to play Street Fighter 2 just to get schooled in in a 30 second match lol. I remember being all confident because I was the champ in my hood, not so much in the main arcades lol. I still play NBA JAM, Street fighter, or any games with the 90's appeal online. Hit me up if ya interested in getting some vintage gaming whether it's versus or coop.

[@jasonbarnes7281]

As some one who has completed a no deaths run of this game, I admire this speedrun. Even though, my brother describes it as a "no fucks given" run. I wonder how many times you had to start over because the fickle RNG of this game caused one of the full health items not to drop.

[@mukankakuna]

Thanks for your comment. I realy appreciate it coming from someone who has completed the game with no deaths. This video doesn't reflect the truly difficulty of this gameplay. It was hard as hell. No other gameplay that i made can match this one... by far. I believe I spent around 2000 hours before getting the run. And, when I finished, I was so exhausted that I didn't wanted to play any other hard game in a long, long time. About the missing full health, you must be refering the one in the phase 5. A lion should drop it but for some reason he doesn't do it. Luckily I managed to not die. By the way, I did some fun facts about Rastan in the spanish version (another video with the same run but in spanish). Anyway, one of them, the rarest of them all, concerns the final boss. In this run he has three times more life than it should. A very rare bug.

[@graysight]

well, if you think how games are programed, maybe could not a bug at all, maybe randomness was not so common those days, but I remember people used to say this and other games like operation wolf got harder over the day when poeple played them a lot, so usualy they asked the arcade owner to reset the machines

Great! To think that I never even finished the first stage.

[@marcdedouvan]

BEAST! I played at release in my youth and never reached the third stage! This game is very difficult (you got to be very acurate and fast) and beautiful too for the epoch (with lot of nice concepts of playing for realism)! A D&D masterpiece like Cadash. For more 3d games in that action spirit, prefer Severance blade of Darkness, to Morowind series (which is more role playing game).

I have the game via Hamster Arcade on the ps4. I have a question. In stage 6 when you die you get immidiately game over and send back to stage one. I played the japanese version. Is this normal? Does the US version have this also?

[@mukankakuna]

That's correct, the game doesn't allow you to continue to the final stage no matter how many "coins" you insert. The final stage must be completed in one go, without dying. If you die in that stage, you have to start over from the beginning of the game. I believe this is the case in all versions.

__queball__ They share the name but the gameplay is quite different. They are in fact, different games. At the end, It was a wise move or at least better than try to get a perfect arcade conversion in a less powerful hardware. By the way, Taito did himself the conversions to SMS and MSX and both of them are similar.

I'ma cry foul! Not on you @mukankakuna, but on the arcade version of the game I put my life savings into back in the day. The fire sword NEVER lasted that long, hits to Rastan would take far more off per strike, and those damned bats in the castle would come at me balls-out when the music got all tense.

That would mean that you were playing on a higher difficulty setting in your arcade than what is being played here. Remember, they were out to get your life savings back in the day.
