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.
