Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Japanese: 大魔界村 Hepburn: Daimakaimura, lit. "Great Demon World Village") is a platform game/run and gun developed by Capcom and released as an arcade game in 1988, and subsequently ported to a number of other platforms. It is the sequel to Ghosts 'n Goblins and the second game in the Ghosts 'n Goblins series.
Ghouls 'n Ghosts is the sequel to the brutally hard Ghosts 'n Goblins, and is brutally hard in its own right. This run is of the original coin-op version, which is most similar to the Genesis one. One of the major differences is less armor from chests.
Creative use of damage and picture perfect boss fights combine with some glitchy looking jumps as xipo takes on Lucifer's many demons. The game is completed twice (which is necessary to get the ending) and along the way we are treated to some fabulous Engrish and more information than necessary about the damsel in distress.
This game has been released on a LOT of different platforms, various computer systems and game consoles include:
Arcade, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, CP System, Commodore 64, Sharp X68000, Sega Saturn, PC, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, SuperGrafx, Sega Master System, Mega Drive/Genesis, Wii Virtual Console and ZX Spectrum.
Thank you XiPo for allowing reuse of your video.
Yes, I released a Genesis version video a couple weeks ago. It's interesting to see the differences between it and the arcade.
