Arguably the three most recognized ports of this game rest on the shoulders of the NES, SNES, and Genesis/Mega Drive. While the SNES may boast technical superiority over this title, and while this version may come with early release quality, debatably this is the better of all the variations. Smooth movement, multi directional aiming and a more faithful rendition of the arcade source material all come together to form an absolute must-have for your Sega library. There isn't much that could be said of Ghouls n Ghosts that hasn't been said before, if you've never played any if the adaptations before and you're looking to start, consider this the perfect beginning to your journey.

This game is a great example of an arcade hit done right by the Sega Genesis system. Other titles include Altred beast, Golden Axe 1-2, Strider, and I will even include Double Dragon. While some games like Double Dragon weren't ecxacly perfect home conversions, Ghouls and Ghosts is a near perfect conversion! The gameplay is very similar if not the same as the arcade. The graphis again are identical maybe off by a hair. Over all if you are a fan of this series you may enjoy the added element of shooting vertically. This feature was not available in the original Ghouls and Goblins. This added feature really increases the playablility and enjoynment of this game!It is put to the test right away during your first boss fight! I will say that this game is right up there with the Sega Genesis best arcade to home conversions. Don't even get me staretd on Super ghouls and Ghouls and Ghosts for the Snes. After all it is quite different than any arcade game within this franchise. Furthermore I don't think it matches the character and originality of this game!Read full review
Ah, yes. Ghouls 'N Ghosts, the sequel to the awesome game Ghost 'N Goblins. You control Arthur, our protagonist knight, who, while having a picnic in a graveyard (who does that?), gets his girlfriend stolen by the devil himself, Lucifer (what a dick!). So you must battle through the various levels, fighting off undead spawn and trying to save the souls of the damned. Fun times. This game is really great. The music is awesome, the graphics are dark and spooky, really helping set the mood of the game. It controls very smoothly and easily. Arthur can pick up a variety of weapons throughout the game, all of them have their positives and negatives. While the game is great, I do have one complaint, and it's three words: Hard. As. F*CK! Seriously, this game is a bitch-kitty with it's difficulty. Arthur can only get hit twice before he's done like dinner (the first hit causes him to lose his armour, redeucing him down to his skivvies, the second hit turns him into a skeleton and he dies. Obviously) To its credit, the game does allow you to fire in all directions, including while jumping, and there are some armour pick ups along the way, but be prepared to get Game Over a considerable amount of times before you start getting good at it. That all being said, once you do start to get good at it, this game is a blast. The spooky graphics will set the mood, the music is a pleasure for your ears, and there's just something very satisfying about throwing a spear through a walking skeleton. All and all, this is a really great game, and if you have an old Genesis laying around, definitely pick this game up, because the Genesis version is one of the best ports of this game. Final Score: 8.5/10Read full review
Ghouls n ghosts for sega Genesis is a port of the arcade game so it’s a bit rough around the edges. But it is good game. It’s hard though as it will beat you a lot. But there is checkpoints and unlimited continues. Highly recommend for sega collectors.
