Ghosts'N Goblins Arcade - 2015 Fan Remaster By Nostalgia Gameplay (C64 Games)
2In 1986 the popular game "Ghosts'N Goblins" appeared in the amusement arcades. In this game you guided Sir Arthur the knight through seven sideways-scrolling levels by jumping and throwing weapons. This is the 2015 fan made version which includes all the original arcade game content which did not make it into the first C64 conversion. All complete 8 levels was developed as fan project for the C64 by the group Nostalgia in 2015.

The seven levels have the following themes:
Level 1 : Graveyard / forest (woods)
Level 2 : Ice palace (ice towers) / ghost town
Level 3 : Underground labyrinth (cave)
Level 4 : Cave and ocean of clouds / fire bridge
Level 5 - 6 : The castle of Lucifer
Level 7 : Throne room (final level)
In the same year of its arcade release, the game was ported to the C64 by the company Elite; Chris Butler was responsible for the conversion. Of the original's seven levels, the C64 features only four; this is because Elite - which had contracted the conversion to Chris Butler - insisted that the game should be run completely from memory without having to reload from media.
So the first four levels of the arcade model were converted into the C64 version. The order of the third and fourth levels were changed because the cave was more appropriate as a final level than the fire bridge (number four in the original).
Chris Butler was an expert C64 game programmer, which has been proven by his later work. The graphics are nice to look at and there are no weak spots to be found in the gameplay. The music was composed by Mark Cooksey, who wrote some of the most popular pieces of music for the C64.
Not for nothing is Ghosts'N Goblins one of the most popular C64 games, even to the present day.
Three years later the successor "Ghouls 'n Ghosts" was converted for the C64; unfortunately, it did not compare to its great forerunner, although it was more extensive than the original.
