I've played Cadash on Genesis and MAME. Both were pretty good but I prefer the Arcade version just for the priestess and the Ninja.
To think that an RPG would be in an arcade would've been unthinkable at the time but lo and behold, Taito succeeded. Sure, you have to buy items and sure you talk to people but you get right to the action quickly.
Didn't that game also suffer from bad translation?
A lesser-known name is this:
AGAG
Isn't that the sound someone makes when they swallow their tongue?
