"you are a brave fighter to have cleared such a difficult stage." yeah the first fucking stage. FRIGGIN hard ass 80s arcade games eating up all the quarters of kids like me. still better than call of duty.

I remember this game in the arcades when I was a kid. It reminded me of Thundercats and I use to pretend I was Lion O playing as the main character. I always failed before I can reach the second level. Loving the random ropes that appear in random places when needed.

I have fond memories of my brother and I playing this at the pool every Summer. Although as kids we really stuck (especially now when you look at how simple the really is) because rarely did we ever make it past the second stage and if we did we never made it far into stage 3

Now this is a game I remember quite well. Because I played this in the arcades many years ago. And I loved it. But I never could beat it. You make this look so easy.

sunk a billion quarters into this game as a kid in the 80s, think it was at the local bowling alley. thanks for the memories!

Damn this takes me back. I remember pumping tons of my dad's quarters into this game. Thanks for the upload.

I loved this game, but I could never get past the third stage. Nice to finally see the ending. Thank you for posting this.

I actually have this game on one of my Taito collections for ps2. I didn't realize how good it was until watching this video!

here's an epic long play proportion of Rastan played by Arnold Schwartzenegger.

Oh MAN I have been trying to remember what this game is called and find it for YEARS!! I used to play this when i was in 2nd grade at a burger joint my dad would take me to. Brings me WAY back, thanks for the LP :)

I used to play this game everyday after school at the pool hall. They used to have the volume turned up so LOUD!!. This music is infectious!!

I only played this game once or twice at a local convenience story 24 years ago, but upon hearing the music again just recently, I instantly recognized it!

Best part about this game: The music. I always would find myself humming the music from the first stage in the valley of kings. lol

"Conan: The Video Game" :)

You are a brave fighter to have bossed such a difficult game.

I had completely forgotten about this masterpiece.

Great walkthrough of a great game. Solid compilation of Ghost’n’Goblins and Golden Axe, it took me 8 months of my life to learn all the tricks and finally beat it!

22:56 This is the point I could not get past, I could NEVER get out of that toxic pit!!!! Very nice indeed how you pulled that off, you are greater today than I was back then, keep it up!

this player is really really good,,, I remember this arcade back in 1988

This game had awesome 80's music! I miss games like this......

I have the first part of stage 1's music engraved in my brain

You are a brave warrior to have cleared such a difficult level!

Wow. This game is 25 years old. I suddenly feel much older.

I love the score for this game. I still hum it to this day.

You know you are a badass when you are swinging on a vine while killing enemies with a mace.

one of the best homages to Conan...

I loved this game, and remember how easy it was to beat the final boss lol. Well played man

thanks man for posting that i love this game,i was growing up on that kind of games.Bring good memories.

The drum music played during the boss stages reminds me of some pagan sex scene from "Caligula".

Well played that man! *claps hands*

I played Rastan with C64 years back then and got only to stage 4... game was original, but there was just one jump over the water (with rope) that could not be done. It would be great to see it done, IF it is possible. Nintendo version has almost the same music but its much more playable with jumps and more colourful. Thanks for the upload, great playing!

Man, I love the music.

Man this is awesome game! I love to play this in time to time. I was lucky to find the Taito Legends collection wich has this game & other classics. Go Rastan! Go & kill those evil creatures with your father's sword!

Man!!!! Nobody touch you,that was awesome.exelent

Best game ever

Dude, you should check out this game Volgarr the Viking that just came out. Very much a tribute to Rastan, it seems.

I could never get past the first round. *facepalm*

Square Enix needs to remake this series. (FYI, they own Taito these days)

I remember seeing this game before. Mostly remember it for the hero's odd walk cycle.

I like the way the bats used to come on if you were taking to long as if to say hurry the fuck up.

The game and music are FUCKING AWESOME!

Man I'd give anything to play this game again! Ok, not anything. Actually I wouldn't give anything but I'd really like to play it again. (maybe a couple bucks) Takes me back to the 80's...it was RAD!

This is one of the most insanely hard game ever. I never could even make it to the castle.

Really fast played. That was an fine longplays. :)

You're not the only one so don't feel bad. :P

He holds his sword/axe in a posture very similar to that of the Guardian in Actraiser.

Damn Cubex you are one AWESOME gamer. Especially at these late 80's platformers. Are you going to do Magic Sword?

wow, this has wicked music!

I own this ARCADE GAME. The actual things you see in arcades or pizzerias!!!

You are a brave fighter to clear such a difficult stage. Kinda like All your bases are belong to us.....

R A S T A N = S A T A N + R

wow it looks so fluid

I have the Arcade Cabinet fame Rastan at home.

I believe that one was called "Gladiator." Don't quote me for certain but look that one up, it should be correct.

I remember playing this in downtown Los Angeles.... man it was such a great game for its day. Does anyone know if this was released in a compilation (any console)? I suppose I'll just have to get the rom.

You are not allowed to use continues if you run out of lives at any point in Round 6; I guess that's why the final boss is not as difficult to beat as you'd expect.

@yournotjohn CooI, found it on amazon.... there are actually a lot of other good games in the compilation as well. Thanks for the info! I didn't know about this one.

I always thought the final boss left a lot to be desired...... Very anticlimactic.

Wow. Now that I saw the last boss....I don't think I ever finished it. Always ran out of friggin quarters. sad I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS!!

Loved playing this in the arcade, but everytime I got to the part in the 2nd level about 9:03 into this video where you jump down and have to break the floor to go to the bottom level, the arcade game would suddenly stop and the title screen would appear. At that point you would have to start over. This would only happen if I didn't break that floor immedianly. If I stayed on the upper floor, the game would crash. Anyone else have that trouble?

wow the arcade version has a lot more enemies than the zx spectrum version :P

last boss, 6 hits. LOL

@wandererlain I love the Master System version XD

Look for the Argonath from LOTR:Fellowship before you beat the first stage

I was always disappointed that the Amiga port never came out. The Amiga was powerful enough to a perfect port of the arcade game. Of course, considering how most home ports turned out, it would probably have sucked. :(

Volgar seems to take ideas from this game. Probably why I like it.

That last boss was a tad anti-climatic :D

What the hell sort of end boss was that?!

Is it true that the final boss is The Nothing?

whats up with that last boss? 4 hits dead?

Rosie O'Donnell-manly, as Screwattack would say :D

i cough and say 'MARIO RIP-OFF!!" .............altho i remember this from waaaaay back ....plus it was in a 7-11 when i visited d c..i thought this was the one where you start out with armour and whenever you get hit,you LOSE parts of your armour until you "die"

Okay, those last two bosses were a fucking JOKE!!!

Well played :)

Rastan is the king among men... Al Bundy watch your seat...

Side scrolling Conan?!

@DMoneySamurai Though that was just me.

@cubex55 Invencibility for sure ^^

Rastan, fazendo uma analise rapida este heroi e a cara do conan passando pelas terras do filme senhor dos aneis no round 1 você vê as estatuas dos patriarcas!

looks kinda golden axe

it seems this is tool assisted, if I understand the comments.

@yournotjohn Cool thanks for the info!

Cool music, although the main theme begins to annoy me after a while.

I can get to round 3. about half way I start having to die with continues. once I'm at Round 6.... game over since continues aren't an option at that point.

Rastan not have opening Rastan saga (the japanese release) has a opening before the start the game

It had...typical 80's music, certainly. Along with everything else in the game, not that I don't appreciate it

LOL"You are a brave warrior to have cleared such a difficult level! " sounds like : " damn ! i dont thought that u pass this stage. Now ur ass get kicked to ur dead , ur fucking noob!!!! " i think they made it so hard because they want only the money of the kids to get easy money. But ScHlAuChi kicked the game right in the balls and beat it without problems! =D Hail ScHlAuChi !!! ^^

I am so jealous...

*downloads NAME*

@ 15:22 explain...

got hit but no damage...

@kkbigal I thought the same thing. Was like.....and thats it, wtf?! lol

Copyrights.

Tool-assisted

I dunno...no offense, I mean from start to finish without even getting hit, gaming god perfection precision, i mean some of the spot you came within a pixel of getting hit and didn't even break stride. maybe you are that good but i believe it is possible with save states and clever editing that a person could create the illusion of perfection
