Rusty is an action Platform Game developed by C-Lab released on July 16, 1993 for the PC-98, MS-DOS, and EPSON PC 286/386.The story takes place centuries ago after Marquis de Monte-Carlo, a vampire lord who once ruled over Bloodthorne Castle and a remote European region, was sealed away by the efforts of a lone hero. However, after 300 years since Monte-Carlo was vanquished, this seal has weakened and monsters have returned, attacking villages once more. Many beautiful women also began disappearing from various villages throughout the frontier and were never seen or heard from again. As the ensuing chaos breaks out from the monster outbreak, rumors have begun spreading that Monte-Carlo has returned. As one village finishes burying and mourning the deceased, a woman named Rustea "Rusty" Sprincul, a beautiful monster hunter who is feared among others, arrives at the scene. After hearing the plea of the village mayor to find the kidnapped women and the missing older sister of a young boy and girl in the village, Rusty sets out to rescue them in hopes they may be alive and put an end to the monster attacks. Opposing her are Queen Bloody Mary of Bloodthorne Castle, who wishes to use the women to resurrect Monte-Carlo (her master), and her mysterious masked hunter Gateau.Rusty is a game heavily inspired by the classic 2D side-scrolling entries of the Castlevania series, namely Vampire Killer for the MSX, as the player explores the stages and find keys to open locked doors to advance through the area or uncover hidden secrets that may aid them along the way. The game also has some striking similarities to Castlevania: Rondo of Blood; both titles being released around the same year only months apart from each other, they're both set in a Gothic Horror setting, featuring a whip-cracking monster hunter out to stop an evil vampire lord terrorizing a countryside while rescuing many damsels in distress along the way.The game is often regarded as a Cult Classic among Castlevania fans, often praised for its surprisingly high production values and complex level design. Unfortunately, since the game was released only in Japan and C-Lab has long since gone defunct, the game became a rarity among other Japanese computer titles with people attempting to keep a copy available. However, an English fan-translation patch was released on May 9, 2017 by 46 OkuMen, a small translation team that also worked on the fan-translation of E.V.O.: The Theory of Evolution for the PC-98. You can find the English patch for Rusty here, and a trailer for the fan-translation can also be found viewed here.

Dragon-in-Chief: Bloody Mary is the loyal servant of Monte-Carlo, but since he is dormant, she runs the plan to revive him and is the one in direct conflict with the titular Rusty.

Jump Physics: Similarly to the Belmonts from the classic Castlevania games, Rusty cannot change direction once she's airborne. She can also perform a short hop by holding Down while pressing Jump, or a long jump by pressing Jump while sprinting.

Gory Discretion Shot: In the opening cinematic, an innocent young woman can be seen in the clutches of Brian Gateau, one of Monte-Carlo's henchmen, then afterward a shot of his castle is seen on top of a mountain, followed by the woman's scream, implying she was killed during a ritual.

Left Hanging: Gateau and Rusty had unfinished business. Gateau needed a hunter like Rusty but never elaborated why, Rusty is looking for a hunter who betrayed and killed her family and the mention of the Crystal Bloods whose identities aren't quite detailed. It's unknown if C-Lab even planned for a sequel.

Eye Catch: After a dialogue that takes place from clearing a stage, players are greeted with an eye catch before proceeding to the next stage. Some of these eye catches feature the village women you just rescued, a few of which are wearing revealing outfits, and a few others let the player know when to switch discs if they're playing the game from the floppy discs.

Spell My Name With An S: Some sources have romanized Rusty's full name as "Rustia Sprinkle", however, 46 OkuMen went with their own romanization as "Rustea Sprincul" as they were not sure of the legitimacy of the former's origins and did fit with the Japanese pronunciation of her name.

Greater-Scope Villain: Marquis de Monte-Carlo is technically the main antagonist of the game, as he is the vampire monarch who ruled the world in the past until he was defeated, and he is returning. However, he himself is not responsible for the monster attacks and kidnapping of village women, and in fact can not do anything as he is still dormant. His servant, Bloody Mary, is the mastermind behind the attacks who drives the plot through her efforts to revive him.

Ms. Fanservice: Rusty is one, as she wears a revealing leather leotard that shows some cleavage and her impressive bust, along with elbow gloves and knee-high boots. There's also Bloody Mary, a female vampire who serves Monte-Carlo and is clad in a (more revealing) leotard and thigh-high boots. A few of the village women you rescue also sport some eye-catching outfits.

Depending on the Artist: A quirk of the game is the design of the lead character, Rusty, as she has two different designs used between gameplay and cutscenes. During cutscenes, she has short wavy hair and is clad in a red leather leotard, shoulder pads, elbow gloves, and knee-high boots, but during gameplay, she has long straight hair with a blue and slightly more revealing version of her attire, similarly to how she's depicted on the front cover; and on that note, three different artists worked on the cutscenes, cover and instruction manual.
