Name that Videogame from the screenshot!

DAMMIT! Here I quit looking at this thread, figuring I'd never get any of these old Japanese games, and somebody posts Colonization, which is an amazing game I have loved for at least 15 years. And now I'm too late, and we're back to obscure Japanese stuff.

Obscure? Even though it was a Japanese made game, it was still released in the US. It's no more obscure than Final Fantasy or Mega Man.

Final hint: Jaleco

Looks kinda familiar but I didn't play many games like this...

Are you trying to trick us with the "ghouls and goblins II" filename?

Hmm ... with your hint I found the game on this list here: http://www.nesguide.com/publishers/jaleco/
I would say the answer, but let's see if anyone knows this without looking at this list here...

It's ok. I doubt anyone else was going to get it, so that's why I put something that could be found out with a little research.

And, yes, I was trying to you trick you.

No shame in doing a bit of research, but I've never had a NES and can't be arsed to go through that list.

Cramill, if you know the answer, let's hear it and you can post your own screenshot.

All right, its Astyanax. Never played it but looks pretty good.

I'll post a screenshot later today, it should be pretty easy for people keeping up with current games.

Yay. It is a very good game.
