I am not alone with the fact that Ghosts 'n Goblins holds a special place in my childhood memories. After Green Beret (Rush 'n Attack), this is the second arcade game I ever played. Although to play it today, the game seems exceedinly difficult and unforgiving, somehow as a child I could get all the way to the last boss on a single credit - a feat I would really struggle with today! Beaten again by my 10yo self :-/ Simple yet clever gameplay, memorable characters, catchy music and rewarding challenge are just some of the ingredients of this Capcom masterpiece. You play Sir Arthur, a knight who must run and jump through six horziontally- or vertically scrolling levels to rescue the Princess Guinevere. Throw lances, axes etc. to kill zombies, bats, demons and other assorted foes. You must defeat the end-of-level boss before you can move on to the next stage. Other machines made by Capcom during the time period Ghosts 'n Goblins was produced include: 1942, HiGeMaru - Pirate Ship, Son Son, Vulgus, Pirate Ship HigeMaru, Commando, 1942 (PlayChoice), Makaimura, Exed Exes, and Gun Smoke
