Let’s Play Ghosts and Goblins! Let’s Play Ghosts and GoblinsBut of course there’s the other side of the coin, when someone surprises me with a good game, the next week someone else comes right back to torture me, and I do think that was the intent with Ghosts and Goblins.

Let’s Play Ghosts and Goblins:

I remember seeing the request and thinking to myself “Super Ghouls and Ghosts” was a solid game, and I remember being surprisingly good at it where other people found it difficult. I figured this would be the same thing, and maybe I could impress a sub or two with my skills on a game which a lot of people consider to be tricky (like a Friday the 13th).

It’s funny but that’s one of the aspects of the channel which doesn’t come up a lot, my skills or lack of skills at these games. I guess it varies so often that it’s not worth mentioning, meaning I’m never amazing enough to wow anyone or horrible enough to turn anyone off. That somewhat related aspect of having a let’s play channel kind of fascinates me, though I’m not sure I’m capable of articulating it better in breadth or depth, so let’s just talk about how much I hated this game.

Ghosts and Goblins was an arcade game, and how it didn’t make the owner of anyone who owned one of these machines in their arcades set for life in quarters is beyond me. The fact that this was an arcade game is an important distinction to me over other games because you have to keep in mind that this game was made to be beyond difficult to a virtually impossible degree for a reason: it existed to suck quarters from parents by way of their children.

I don’t want to go overboard and say games like this offend me on the deepest level possible, but I actually do resent them on some level with that in mind.

Even with cheats I was cussing up a storm near the end of this game. And not being able to kill the last boss or near last boss with a certain weapon, what the hell was that about!?

Anyway, another game revolving around a kidnapped girlfriend you have to rescue but the kicker is the difficulty levvel is borderline impossible. Let’s move on before it angers up my blood any further.
