A Retrospective on Arcade Games (Ghouls 'n Ghosts)
55Thought I would try something a little different this time. Instead of a review, I am giving a kind of personal account, and my own private musings on a era of computer games that was all about the Arcade. I think anyone that grew up with arcades in the 70-80s has a special place in there heart for at least a few arcade titles. For the arcade game is in many ways a lots art form, no longer developed. The game play mechanics utilized in arcade games responsible for producing some of the most fun and addictive games on the planet are simply abandoned now to the mists of nostalgic historical curiosity. Now the old arcade games stand unique among retro game titles, as simply playing them will never give you an understanding of how these games stood in context to those of us that lived, at the arcade.
This video came about as I am really busy at the moment, and whenever I'm busy I end up playing lots of mame. These recordings are of my playthough of Ghouls 'n Ghosts (world). I used the xtra lives DIP switch as well. (4 instead of 2 extra lives. Also I am not super hardcore and had to resort to using save states on level 4).
Ghouls 'n Ghosts is one of my fav classic arcade games and I hope you like this video.
I'll get back to adventures for the next one I promise.
Have Fun and Stay Safe
