Taito Releases Saint Sword onto Sega Genesis – June 27th, 1991 – Today in Video Game History

June 26th, 2016

Carl Williams

What do you do when someone else has a really popular title? Why, you copy it as best you can. That is apparently what Taito did in the early 90’s when they released Saint Sword for the Sega Genesis. They followed the idea of Rastan as best they could but as with most copycats, they […]

June 17th, 2014

Carl Williams

Ocean Software, the company responsible for porting Rastan to home computers, has discovered a demo for Rastan on the Atari ST.
