Would’ve brought this for Cadash alone, but Arcade Archives released that classic over a year ago. Remember playing Cadash, in the arcades. Game was a beast. The hardest part was wrapping your head around it being a somewhat nonlinear AARPG, in the arcades. It was so easy losing track of time as you leveled up, especially with the magic users. After the shock wore off and you realized you were on a time limit, then the game’s difficulty kicked your a$$-emphasis on the dollar signs. Me and a few buds spent $5 each, to get no further than the cemetery level. Could never get past that area. But, playing it on the Switch, with infinite continues, got the damn thing down to a science. Find the dead guy’s widow, for the pendant. Take the pendant back to the dead guy’s tombstone, to gain the ability to talk to animals. Go back and find the dog, who now leads you to the Ifrit. Beat the Ifrit to open the bridge to the final area. Easy peasy!!! Also, best character is the priestess, due to her standard attack range and shield spell.
I just watched a video a couple of weeks ago regarding Rastan 3. I'd never heard of it, and not sure why it got recommended by TH-cam, but I remember thinking how cool it looked and was upset it only seemed to be an arcade cabinet. Now I find out I can get it, along with a bunch of other cool games, and now I'm going to have to spend even more money than I already have this season. Thanks a lot, Jordan! 😠😆
I had a similar game on Amiga called Targhan.. Rastans nice to have but not sure if it aged very well.. Still have my ps2 collection.. I’m really intrigued by these new classic comp releases tho.. I only have Taito 1 on Switch(physical)
But then you miss out on looking at the busty barmaid while your playing in the games room at the local working mens pub with all the old man's smoke poisoning your lungs at such a young age.great days 🤣🤣
I recently ordered this from Amazon. It's expected December 27th. I'm glad to hear it's great. Though I hate hearing that the first two wasn't good. I have those as well, but never played them (story of my gaming life).
Was thinking of picking this up but I do wonder if they will release a package with all 3 releases? Growl (Runark) is one of my favourite games. It was bold enough to say you can justify blowing up people and kneeing women in the face in the name of animal preservation. Always wanted to play Dead Connection. Glad it is finally getting a port.
Yes, probably because Bubble Bubble and Rainbow Islands are legendary games in Italy. So are most arcade classics. For some reason arcade games were far more influential over here than in the Anglo countries, I don't know why. When I was in my teens we used to go to the arcades basically every day, I didn't even live in a big city, but the choice of games was decent, I played all the classics.
Actually I played Rastan in the arcades as a kid, i have seen people go very far with just a single coin back then. I see why you are frustrated with it. Playing on consoles vs arcades is very different mindset. Console games focus on having games with the right amount of difficulty so they are not to easy or too hard. Arcades like Rastan are difficult and sort out the good players from the top players. There is fan in achieving mastery in this kind of games. Something you will never get from a console, since the games are too easy, with continues etc.
idk, TM2 has Metal Black and that is one of their best releases. This release does have a much better collection of games than the previous two releases. I need one with all the super weird Japanese releases.
I bet cadash did make good money in the arcade cause you could hook 2 cabinets together and play 4 player I can remember playing it at wet n wild in Garland Texas numerous times in the arcade
I don’t think Taito Milestones 1 and 2 is that bad, I will get the physical version of milestones 3. And after watching your review, it definitely blows away the first two compilations and they do look lacklustre in comparison, milestones 3 easily the best in the Taito Milestones series.
@@PhysicalParadise Thanks and good. I hate playing games where I can't understand what's going on in the story. I still think whoever decided not to release it in the US when it first came out was trying to sabotage Taito.
Great compilation and looking forward to getting it, but to set the record straight Taito’s 2 best games were included in volume 2: The New Zealand Story and Liquid Kids
I'm highly interested in buying it, however I shall wait for 25-30 bucks price point. So many games and collections are popping that I cannot give a 40 here and a 50 there.
@PhysicalParadise Ducks and probably pheasant? Too much "white" meat in a turkey. Even the wild ones you see in the woods are giant birds. They only fly up into the branches to roost. Not sure the toms even can do that. Couple of dozen hens per tom. The U.S. had had a long-term deal with Russia for our chicken "dark" meat.
hope the next Taito Milestones collection include light bringer, Arabian Magic, Chaos Heat, silent dragon and elevator action returns .. those games are awesome...
I'd sure like to know why Taito could give us almost 30 games per disc on 4 PS2 compilations, yet only ten on modern releases. Feels shady. Rastan is one of the greatest arcade games of all time, though, and Rastan II is awful. Cadash was very successful, eventually being ported to Genesis and Turbografx in its time and later included in on the the Taito Memories collections on PS2 in Japan. Dead Connection is the one game here that hasn't had a physical home release before. It's a shame there's not more.
Bubble bobble, rainbow island, peerrrlease! Taito have got to stop 🛑 porting these particular games they have been ported to kingdom come. These could’ve been replaced by the likes of Night Striker S and Chase HQ for example.
The game selection and the original price tag. Now you can get the first for about $15 it’s not so bad, but the original price for 10 relics was not good value for money.
Yeah he lost me on that statement. Rastan 2 is one of the worst games of all time. The developers should be serving a life sentence in prison for releasing that after the first game. 😂
What a waste of money, just get MAME and download the ROMS. £35 for ten games, so £3.50 per game for games that have been rehashed so many times on different ports. I agree with you not getting it digitally, however buying rehashed stuff like this is the same as buying digital. You are saying to the companies that gamers will pay for any rubbish that they release.
Firstly, these are not rubbish. They are really good games. I'd happily pay 3quid a pop for a good few of them. If your immediate thought is to get MAME and go that route, we're coming from a completely different perspective on the industry. From your perspective any retro release is a waste of money as I can't see how a re-release of PS1, N64, Gamecube games would be different to arcade releases. Old games, right? At that point you're just shouting at clouds for people to not pay for games. I don't have any problem with people using emulators. I use them all the time. But it's nice to have an official product, sometimes (if the product is good like this) it feels nice to know you're supporting the industry. If a retro re-release becomes popular it may also lead to a new entry in a franchise. This is a package I feel should be supported because it's good. Volume 1 and 2, were bad and mediocre, respectively and I don't think they should have been supported. Not every release is equal.
@ Yeah, but they’re boring to fight. At least in Golden Axe you can do different things if you want. The approach for everything in Rastan is the same.
This is much better than the first 2 volumes!

I'm getting this just for Rastan. I miss my childhood 😄😄😄
I love collections like these. Thanks for these reviews. This is a great one for barbarian fans!
Really good collection!

I get your frustration with Rastan 1 but I love that game. Its really the best Conan The Barbarian Arcade game we could have gotten in the mid 80s.
Pumping out the videos 😂Good work
Working hard to get full time 😊 💪
@ I hope you can. You are good at it.
Cadash is awesome, and the arcade version with all 4 characters. The Genesis got a port, but it only had 2 of the characters.
TG16 as well had a port
“I didnt play these games much but heres my review of them”
Ah... the old quoting something I didn't say technique.
Nah - Rastan is an absolute Classic - You just have to be a Good Player
And I have a real Arcade of it
I do as well. I've never heard of anyone before who thinks Rastan II is better than the original until now. That is an absurd take!!
I had a similar game on Amiga called Targhan.. Rastans nice to have but not sure if it aged very well.. Still have my ps2 collection.. I’m really intrigued by these new classic comp releases tho.. I only have Taito 1 on Switch(physical)
He's right on the quarter munching difficulty of Rastan.
Love my retro collections the switch. Really looking forward to this one as it does look a lot more interesting than the first two.
They should just put all the Puzzle Bobble and Bubble Bobble games together and just sell that.
They already have that.
Love an arcade game on the Nintendo. No quarters, paid upfront, play all I like. 10 yo me would never believe the blessings.
But then you miss out on looking at the busty barmaid while your playing in the games room at the local working mens pub with all the old man's smoke poisoning your lungs at such a young age.great days 🤣🤣

If you haven't got the ACA versions this is a great collection. Rastan's a great game.
Was thinking of picking this up but I do wonder if they will release a package with all 3 releases?
Growl (Runark) is one of my favourite games. It was bold enough to say you can justify blowing up people and kneeing women in the face in the name of animal preservation.
Always wanted to play Dead Connection. Glad it is finally getting a port.
Looks great!
Hopefully Chase HQ for TM4
Rainbow Island gave birth to M.A.M.E.
Thankfully we are getting real releases now, lots of MAME was broken
Yes, probably because Bubble Bubble and Rainbow Islands are legendary games in Italy. So are most arcade classics. For some reason arcade games were far more influential over here than in the Anglo countries, I don't know why.

Rastan3/ Warrior Blade is indeed incredible. Does this collection have any difficulty settings for the games?
Yes!
You don't like beat 'em ups, you don't like platformers, you don't like drugs... damn boy, what do you like?!
I like platformers just not often arcade ones 😅
Cadash made money for the arcade in Japan where I played it - probably pumped 5000 yen in there back in 1989 or 90
They need to re release Taito Legends 1 and 2. I love those.

You think the villains in Growl were odd, wait until you see the final boss! 👾
Holy f bro you dont like Rastan?
Rastan is the goat!!!!
Really, really tempted on this just for Dead Connection.
idk, TM2 has Metal Black and that is one of their best releases. This release does have a much better collection of games than the previous two releases. I need one with all the super weird Japanese releases.
I bet cadash did make good money in the arcade cause you could hook 2 cabinets together and play 4 player I can remember playing it at wet n wild in Garland Texas numerous times in the arcade
Oh now that sounds pretty cool as an idea.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy turkey 🦃 day America!

Milestones 1 was saved by Qix and Qix alone.
How much text is in Rastan 3 and is it in English?
The cutscenes have English on the top and Japanese on the bottom
@@PhysicalParadise Thanks and good. I hate playing games where I can't understand what's going on in the story. I still think whoever decided not to release it in the US when it first came out was trying to sabotage Taito.
Thunder Fox is the greatest arcade game ever made!!!!! 💯😩
Have you played GunForce 2?
Jordan where do I know your voice from? Another switch channel?
SwitchWatch or A Bit More Jordan
Goddamit I need to resist. I’m sure this won’t be sold out right? I’ve already spent too much this month…
Nah this won’t sell out quick
CADASH!!! 😍
Great compilation and looking forward to getting it, but to set the record straight Taito’s 2 best games were included in volume 2: The New Zealand Story and Liquid Kids
The New Zealand Story is a big W indeed
I'm highly interested in buying it, however I shall wait for 25-30 bucks price point. So many games and collections are popping that I cannot give a 40 here and a 50 there.
For that price, you could probably get the Taito super mega pocket.
Does China have turkeys?
Not really
@PhysicalParadise Ducks and probably pheasant? Too much "white" meat in a turkey. Even the wild ones you see in the woods are giant birds. They only fly up into the branches to roost. Not sure the toms even can do that. Couple of dozen hens per tom. The U.S. had had a long-term deal with Russia for our chicken "dark" meat.
Yes they do, at least in Shanghai. Lots of North Americans here and the more expensive stores sell turkeys at this time of the year.
@LegendaryWizball88 Glad they're not missing out.
hope the next Taito Milestones collection include light bringer, Arabian Magic, Chaos Heat, silent dragon and elevator action returns .. those games are awesome...
I ll pick it up when it is on sale for 20 bucks...
Fun fact: taito in finnish means skill. You have to have skills to play Taito's games ;)
Warrior blade is better than Golden Axe? You must be high.
Why? Explain.

Altered Beesting?
Nooo Rastan is not a runt its awesome!
If Rastan 1 and 2 are the worst games on this then I am SOLD
Bubble bobbleeeeee
ugh i gotta buy another one now lol
😬
Lol is it just me or does the character in Rastan 2 there, look like Jesus Christ?
Cool games
❤❤
Bubble bobble, rainbow island, peerrrlease! Taito have got to stop 🛑 porting these particular games they have been ported to kingdom come. These could’ve been replaced by the likes of Night Striker S and Chase HQ for example.
Picked up Milestones 1 for £15 and 2 for £19 in the black friday sales. I'll probably get this when it drops to around £25.
Those prices are far better for those two previous releases 👍
If I may ask, what made the first two so terrible? I haven't played them so I don't know.
The game selection and the original price tag. Now you can get the first for about $15 it’s not so bad, but the original price for 10 relics was not good value for money.
rastan saga 2 is better than rastan 1
...are you out of your mind?
Maybe, but I stand by it. Maybe it’s not technically better, but I’d rather play Rastan 2
Yeah he lost me on that statement. Rastan 2 is one of the worst games of all time. The developers should be serving a life sentence in prison for releasing that after the first game. 😂

Stop being poor and find employment.
Rastan 3 is relentlessly boring which makes it hard to beat Golden Axe.
I don't know how anyone could think it's relentlessly boring.
@@PhysicalParadise There is zero depth to the game play. You hit slash, then you move on. It just looks nice.
@@MarginalSCthere's way more enemies on screen in Rastan 3 and the graphics are much better
@ Yeah, but they’re boring to fight. At least in Golden Axe you can do different things if you want. The approach for everything in Rastan is the same.
@@MarginalSC I doubt you can 1 credit clear Rastan 3
Some real dumb ill-informed comments about Rainbow Islands. Wtf is this channel?
Explain.
All 3 Taito Milestone games are shovelware... nostaglia may save them from hell, but it's shovable.
Not only do you not understand gaming history, you also don't understand quality gameplay when it's right in front of your face
How about giving us a definition for what shovelware is and why you think these games are shovelware.
Lemme guess Pokemon and GoldenEye 007 are your favorite games?
YEAHHHHH PHYSICAL VIDEO GAMES 🎮 🕹 ONLY PHYSICAL MEDIA ONLY TO HELL WITH DIGITAL DOWNLOADS
