One of the greatest arcade sequels of all time, and such a highly regarded game that the arcade boards alone fetch crazy money now, Ghouls 'n Ghosts (and the Japanese version named 'Daimakaimura') is a piece of gaming history.
Incredibly hard and featuring only 5 richly diverse levels, it is the mere polish to the presentation and gameplay which makes this game shine from the thousands of arcade games released. Like Capcom's Strider arcade release, I personally never had the chance to play Ghouls 'n Ghosts in the arcades, so that makes this original arcade release all the more special!
As the story goes, three years have passed since this game's prequel. Now the Knight Arthur must fight against the true king of the Demon World, Lucifer, who has taken many souls including that of Arthur's beloved Princess Prin Prin.
Other machines made by Capcom during the time period Ghouls 'n Ghosts was produced include: Bionic Commando, Black Dragon, 1943 Kai - Midway Kaisen, 1943: The Battle Of Midway, Avengers, CP System I, Daimakaimura, Capcom Bowling, F-1 Dream, and Forgotten Worlds
