Guest Backson Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 FUCKING HELL boat level and ghosts just fucking APPEAR ANYWHERE and FLY ANYWHERE. think about that, its not even about fucking skill, you just have to hope that a ghost doesn't appear on you. which - by the way - they fucking do. what the fuck? how am I supposed to play this?

BCM Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 it is indeed an extremely hard game. I could never get very far on it, but for some reason still loved it as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 This is one of those games I got to the end to as a kid (though not completed, if you don't pick up a certain item it throws you back to the first level!) however a few years back I played it again and I was getting fucking whooped. I love it no less though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the fuck is a child meant to play this. maybe i suck really really hard, but this is ridiculous. i've never played the game, but from what i'm seeing on youtube it looks pretty easy compared to other games that came out during that time period. i'm sure you'll get back into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Super Ghouls n Ghosts separates the men from the boys and I never made it past the ship kids these days don't know how easy they have it and games are almost designed to be completed so you buy another asap right now I'm going through a scrolling shoot em up renaissance (or SHMUP's) and having much fun with Gradius V, Castle of Castle of Shikigami 2 and every Turbografx/PC Engine shmup. I'm finding United Acid Emirates or Move of Ten works well whilst your dodging the spray of bullets whilst were here how hard was Contra 4?

That's as far as I ever got on the SNES version. As a kid I managed to get to the final boss at the arcades though, there was an arcade that only charged 10p a go and my Dad gave me 3 quid so I spent it all on Ghouls n Ghosts and loved every minute.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I used to tear my fucking hair out playing Battletoads on the Gameboy around 1993. what the fuck, that was impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 aah Ghouls and Ghosts. I never played it for years after, when I was a child "*Completed" it and the game put me straight back to the start because I missed one fucking item. The sheer RAGE I expelled against that game shall never be sought again I can tell you that... SERIOUSLY WTF I GET TO THE END AND IT THROWS ME TO THE STARTT ALL OVER AGAIN FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I tried years later and got stuck on some lava level later on..... might try again... right now... just because....

Guest glasse Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Well now with an emulator you can freeze state and reload it whenever you die, so when you do make it a little further it's not like you'll only have one life left. It's not much of an advantage but it helps a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snowpepsi Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 the c64/amiga versions of the ghouls n ghosts series didn't punish you so much.. you only had to play the game through once.. and they had the great Tim Follin soundtrack.. best game music ever!

Terpentintollwut Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 and MY GOD. This is so fucking hard! How the fuck is a child meant to play this. No idea, I think I never managed the first stage even. But I must have loved it cause I drew an A4 version of the little cover from the sticker on the SNES cartridge. I didn't have the box, I don't even know where the game came from. It kinda was just there some day. In fact the only games I ever picked from a shop were Donkey Kong Country 3 and Secret of Evermore. Well now with an emulator you can freeze state and reload it whenever you die Which is why people like me come up with levels like this ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhaFutt0n90 (sorry if it's not available in your country, Sony bullshit blocked it in mine, but it should be viewable in the US I guess...?)

I beat it on Normal after a LOT of practice. Hard mode is another story, however, and I never made it past level 5 or 6. However, all contra games are hard, so it's to be expected.

Caretstik Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Until the advent of Wikipedia, I could never figure out what the fuck to do on Raiders Of The Lost Ark on the Atari VCS. And the ET game baffles me to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Am I right in thinking that it's one of the first (if not the first) games to employ a double jump play mechanic ? EDIT: Nope I was wrong, it was Dragon Buster back in '84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Backson Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 my mood is improving because i am making progress. the only problem is that the emulator I'm using won't save so i have to start again each time i quit. up to the rafting level, reach the boss once. wish me luck.

hexagon son Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 i finished this on megadrive/genesis and later SNES with not not much problem. The arcade was amuch harder. I've yet to finished ghosts and goblins for for arcade/nes/famicom yet. hardest of the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 its awful to get the super armor suits and loose them instantly i dont want to buy a PSP but as soon as it's emulated i want to play through this game in it's entirety http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUzgPf0Rj9s&feature=related oh shit nevermind i thought you meant super ghosts and goblins for the SnES, the game in the video is the one you mean right?
