Is it just me who doesn't like Ghosts N Goblins or it's music (I find the tune far too changable and all of it annoying as hell)?

Also The Real Ghostbusters game is based on the cartoon, not comic books (though there were comic books based on the cartoon).   :)

Cool video other than those things.  :)

Super Cauldron is ruined for me by the awful scrolling.  It doesn't feel very attached to the player movement at all and gives me a headache.  I'd have preferred it flick-screen rather than that.

I used to play Ghost and Goblins quite a lot when I was a kid. I found it quite a "decent" conversion back in time and I even liked the music. However, the incredible difficulty level (at least for me) and the fact that the armor does not actually protect you ruined the game  :picard:

Sorry, but one game got forgotten here, and that's Black Land. Most scary intro ever. Would be nice to integrate it to the vid for the 2016 version maybe. IMHO it's #1 Horror Game.  :)

it was annoying because it was the music of freaking Ghost and goblins... you would loose every 5 seconds so the music would restart every 5 freaking seconds... were the game easier, the music wouldn't be traumatic.

You must have really sucked at that game. Even I was able to pass level 1. Level 2 was a complete bitch though, passed it a handful of times and didn't have enough lives for Level 3.
If you think that's hard, don't go near Beyond The Ice Palace!  :laugh:

Level 2 was a nightmare. Be lucky if you got off the icy platforms. The dodgy scrolling didn't help the ladder section either as you climbed up, knowing you were gonna run into an enemy, and no option except to just watch yourself die.  :laugh:
