Ghosts N Pins and Buttons
Description: Ghosts ‘n Goblins, known in Japan as Makaimura (Japanese: 魔界村, lit. “Demon World Village”), is a run-and-gun platform video game series. The first entry in the series was Ghosts ‘n Goblins, released in arcades on July 7, 1985. The series has subsequently been ported to and released on a variety of personal computers, game consoles, and mobile platforms and spawned several sequels and spin-offs. The main series focuses on the knight Arthur’s quest to save princess Prin-Prin from the demon king Astaroth. In most of the main series, once completing the game, the player is forced to re-play the game’s stages at a higher difficulty level in order to receive the game’s true ending, lending to the series reputation among gamers for its intensity.
Description: A knight in shining armor. A princess to rescue. An army of demons standing in the way. Sounds simple enough. It wasn't. Released in 1985, Ghosts ’n Goblins became an arcade legend not only for its monsters, graveyards and unmistakable pixel art, but for being absolutely merciless with anyone brave enough to play it. One hit and the armor was gone. Another one... and so were you. And just when you thought you'd finally beaten the game? Go back. Do it all again. Some games tested your skills. Ghosts ’n Goblins tested your sanity.
