You know, I can't say this game is SCARY, or HORRIFYING in the traditional sense, but do you know what makes it frightening? How downright difficult and unforgiving it is!
I had the luxury of snagging a copy of SUPER GHOULS N GHOSTS recently, and I couldn't resist popping it into the 'ol Super Nintendo and giving it another whirl. Lo and behold, and much to my lack of surprise, the game frustrated me to no ends just like it did years ago. Sure, it's not as bad as the original for the NES, or if you happened to play the one in the arcade which is ten times as worse, probably because you had to keep feeding it quarters, but the Super Nintendo version sequel is a quest for video gaming justice in it's own right.
When you think about Ghosts 'N Goblins, or Ghouls N Ghosts, the first thing you really think about is a naked guy running through a cemetery, right? Half the game you're playing as a naked dude in tighty whities. Don't let that box art fool you. You'll be lucky to hang on to armor for a minutes worth of gameplay.
Hell, I even did an art piece awhile back for a corporate charity event. Check it out! (have copies of this for sale if anyone wants it...NUDGE NUDGE)
