Bastard

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Bastard! Ankoku no Hakai-shin
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Cobra Team/Kaneda
RELEASED:         1994
TYPE:             Fighting
LANGUAGE:         Japanese

PREMISE:          Based on the anime OAV about a 400-year old master
                  sorcerer/fighter named Darshu (Dark Schneider in some
                  translations) who is reluctantly drafted as a "good guy"
                  in the battle against the powerful disciples of the
                  imprisoned dark mage Anthrax.  Originally created by
                  Kazushi Hagiwara in 1992 - and yes, almost all the names
                  used in the show are taken from popular "heavy metal"
                  rock bands from the era.

IMPRESSIONS:      This is an unauthorized attempt by Kaneda to port this
                  unique SNES/SFC fighter to the G/MD.  It is in its very
                  early stages (the fight engine isn't even included), but
                  shows promise.

VARIATIONS:       The name loosely translates as Bastard!  The Destructive
                  God of Darkness.
