Ghosts'n Goblins

arcade platformer shooter game for Commodore 64, 1986

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Control Port 2.

Ghosts'n Goblins is a sideways scrolling action platformer spread
over six levels, each of which must be completed within three minutes
(or a life is lost), taking in forest, village, mountain and cavern
settings with increasing difficulty.

Arthur the brave knight must rescue his beloved Princess from the
Demon King Astaroth and his forces - amongst them are the various undead
(ghosts, zombies), bats, ogres and goblins.
Other challenges include moving platforms, ladders and water/fire hazards.

The player can walk left and right, jump, and is also equipped with a lance
to use as a weapon. Getting hit by enemies causes Arthur to lose his armor
and run around in his underpants, getting hit again will cause the player
to lose a life. As in most games in this genre, the player can pick up
power-ups such as daggers and bombs during the course of the game,
giving the player greater firepower.
