Rastan

Originally released on Ocean's arcade label Imagine, this is a fun side scrolling slash em up, featuring a hero who does not look unlike Conan the Barbarian.

This is a conversion of the arcade game from Taito, and features the eponymous hero Rastan fighting the hordes from hell, released by a wizard, the tape has two versions on it, the 48k multiload on one side and the whole game in 128k form on the other.

One of the last 48k games released by Ocean/Imagine, before they started releasing 128k only games.
