Ghouls and Ghosts
Or Ghosts and Goblins. Or Makaimura. Not a place to be caught it your underwear. Not with that incessant rain. Gamers of a certain vintage all carry the scars of a few clashes with this tough cookie. Its enough to bring out the thousand yard stare from gaming veterans before prompting an aggressive retort. Capcom crafted a delightful gaming world. Such a fine developer would never allow players to feel like the collision detection was at fault when plummeting from a precipice. But nor is any molly coddling on offer with constant threat to your suit of armour from all over the screen. Its definite tough love: very welcomed treasure chests may occasionally provide spanking new armour. And the new generation of gamers may find it a little old school: to the point of reciting times tables ad infinitum and getting wrapped over the knuckles with a cane. But it certainly gets the gaming juices going in the cerebral cortex. So many cracking versions including the updates to the GBA, Playstation and PSP to remind all of the merits of the Super Grafx, Super Famicom, Mega Drive. Enjoy the pain.
