The game is known as "Kisuishou Densetsu Astal" in Japan, which literally translates to "Shining Crystal Legend Astal".

The game had a number of differences between its Japanese and English language releases. In the Japanese version, Astal has five life points and unlimited continues. This was dropped to three life points and one continue in the North American version.

In the Japanese version, the song "Let Me Try Again" that plays during the game's intro movie includes vocals. The North American version is instrumental. However, the vocal version can be heard by playing the game's CD in a standard CD player.

In response to Shinkansen Retrogamer.
That is a beautiful game based on the screenshots I have seen for it.
