Favorite G'NG related game?

[Dire 51]

Since this new forum allows us more poll choices, I've decided to redo the old G'NG poll I had on the other forum. The only games I didn't add are all Japanese releases - Arthur to Astaroth no Nazomakaimura: Incredible Toons (an obscure G'NG puzzle game released for the PSX and Saturn), Makaimura for Wonderswan, and Chohmakaimura R for the GBA. More than likely most people haven't played any of these. I also chose not to include Capcom Generation Volume 2 either.

So, here we go...

I've always enjoyed Ghost 'N Goblins the most. I remember playing it at the indoor soccer arena when my brother was playing soccer. I spent many quarters on it and never seemed to get far. I also have many memories of playing in on the Nintendo in my basement many years ago.

1st: ghouls and ghosts. Shooting up and down seems to make all the difference

2nd: Super Ghouls and Ghosts. Although SNES specific (and later psx) it's obviously 2nd best.:) Still good stuff, and lots of fun w/ great graphics.

3rd: Ghosts and Goblins: Just too friggin hard and frustrating. But it was first so there you go..

Gargoyles quests were interesting, but they're another story altogether.

@NE146 - I agree with you about Ghouls 'N Ghosts - the ability to fire up and down helped immensely. It may just be my imagination, but that, along with the speed and near-perfect control of Arthur, helped make Ghouls 'N Ghosts quite a bit easier than either Ghosts 'N Goblins or Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts. I was actually able to finish it!

[NE146]

yep. It definitely made it "finishable". I was able to beat Super G&G as well but maybe by that point my skills were already polished.

However, Ghosts and Goblins... UGGH. I spent much money playing it at a local bowling alley and got as far as the houses (the ones with the windows). Then later when it came to the NES I thought "finally I can play this as much as I want for free and I can finish it!!! oh boy was I wrong, after hours and hours, I got damn far in the game and I think after one frustrating MARATHON session, I finished it once through! But to find I had to go through it again (this was before ghouls and ghosts so I didn't know about that).. so there was just no way.... and in the end the ONLY way I ever did finish Ghosts and Goblins.. was yes, to cheat.

Yeah, me too. I can barely make it past Stage 2 of the NES game sometimes... I can get further in the arcade game, but not much.

That Level Select code in the NES game sure does come in handy, doesn't it?

*bump*

Yeah, I bumped this one too. ~shrug~

Super Ghouls n' Ghosts for me as my top. Great music play control and hard as hell to play. Demon's Crest is a close second for me.

I just had way too much fun back in the day playing gargoyle's quest for GameBoy not to vote for it. If anyone hasnt checked that game out, you definitely should.
