Despite being an early Saturn platform game Astal, is still one of the most beautifully drawn 2D games on the system. Even today it visuals would still look stunning on a modern console, an enjoyable platformer that was far to short for its own good. Unfortunately Astal never got a sequel and most Saturn fans can only wonder as to how good a sequel would have looked on the Saturn. Possibly a victim of the 3D wars going on at the time as other 3D Saturn platform games such as Bug! and Clockwork Knight did get sequels. Astal also never saw a European release either which didn't help the game either. These days all three characters along with Ristar, Alex Kidd, Dynamite Headdy and Wonder Boy, appear to be lock in some Sega cupboard somewhere still waiting to appear in another game. Astal is one game all Saturn owner should have in their library.

Also known as: 輝水晶伝説アスタル (Japan)

Release: 1995
Developer: Sega
Publisher: Sega
Format: Sega Saturn (SS) / セガサターン

To Sega's shame Astal is not available on any other format.

Captured directly from a Modified European Sega Saturn at 60hz using RGB Scart via a scart upscaler in order for it to work with an Elgato Game Capture HD.
