There's a newer game on the PSP called Ultimate Ghost N Goblins or something and it seems to be the hardest in the series because it has another difficulty setting higher than professional.Blueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021099071423868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346508933381337699.post-20826911098314621792014-10-28T14:28:18.227-04:002014-10-28T14:28:18.227-04:00Well, the first game's intro has him in boxer ...Well, the first game's intro has him in boxer shorts on a picnic with him.

I've never gotten past the second stage of Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts.<br />Have you ever played Daimakaimura - the SuperGrafx version of Ghouls 'n Ghosts? I would love to see you compare the two.Bard Olyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257314503893210474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346508933381337699.post-6925536416314361582014-10-26T17:46:39.192-04:002014-10-26T17:46:39.192-04:00The downside of Firebrand is that he follows you a...The downside of Firebrand is that he follows you and there's NO ESCAPE. He's sorta like the Hammer Bros in SMB1 in terms of being a regular enemy that causes you a lot of problems, but unlike the HBs, you have to fight.<br /><br />The upside...is that he follows you and there's no escape. I realized quickly that the platforms weren't a good place to fight, so I backtracked to the first room where I more easily dispatched the first Firebrand. Kept doing that with each new one.<br /><br />The bow is also the best weapon for him, by far. Since it has two projectiles, if you aim it right he can't dodge it the way he dodges everything else. He'll just move right into the other projectile. I'd usually fire just below him with the forward arrow so he'd move up into the upper arrow.Jerichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031388156675516231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346508933381337699.post-26580088418268109262014-10-26T08:20:00.951-04:002014-10-26T08:20:00.951-04:00The world map scrolls up like a staircase and you ...The world map scrolls up like a staircase and you see it every time you die? That's a great touch, and foreboding.<br /><br />Yeah, this first stage is burned into my brain, too.<br /><br />You turn into bones when you die? OWWW!<br /><br />Really interesting that it's better to bring Firebrand back to an earlier location to fight. That's some rarely-seen action game strategy.<br /><br />This song you shared -is- great.<br /><br />They WHAT? They send you back to the beginning and make you do everything again?! The nerve!<br /><br />Nevertheless, this was fun to read about, and it's great to see that old Capcom color palette.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
