RE: Kick ass games of my youth: Rastan: The arcade game

in #gaming2 months ago

I don't remember a great many of the arcade games that captivated me, but Rastan was one of them. Did you have one?

To this day, Daytona USA 2 specifically is what basically made me look up SEGA arcade games as a kid on my PC ever since the first time I saw a deluxe cabinet on the local arcade. Second place would go to DDR Supernova mainly because that's likely why I got into Stepmania back then as well. Honorable mentions would go to the NFS Carbon and Hydro Thunder cabinets, and the non-arcade-game-but-still-a-favorite good ol' table hockey :)

I feel like I've READ the name of Rastan somewhere but don't remember when or where that was, but it does look like it might be a bit of fun to try out casually even though I'm definitely expecting to die a lot early considering the description and being aware of arcade games this old to be quite straightforward with their trickery to drain you more credits.

I have never owned a cabinet at all but I do have a rather rich friend who has a few of them and Rastan was one of them. The better cabinets are the ones that have hundreds of games in them but it does kind of feel like cheating. The ambiance isn't the same when the buttons aren't specifically designedfor that one game.
