DESCRIPTION

You are Arthur, a brave young knight decked out in a suit of armor. King Loki has made off with Princess Guinevere, your beautiful girlfriend. During your quest to rescue her, you will face skeletons, demons, vultures, poisonous flowers, demons, flaming werewolves, and of course, ghosts and goblins. At the beginning of the game, you are armed with a sword to fight off these hellish creatures. As you run, jump, and kill monsters, you will find other weapons such as an axe, a super sword, fire water, a discus, and a dagger.

Also, you can upgrade your armor several notches. While wearing the magic armor, the weapon currently in your possession will become capable of performing magic. If you get touched by a creature or one of its weapons while you are in your standard armor, you will be reduced to wearing nothing but a pair of underwear. If touched while in this condition, you turn into a lifeless skeleton.

Ghouls 'N Ghosts moves primarily from left to right. The five stages of play will take you to a place of execution, a decaying village, a monstrous mountain, a forest made of crystal, and a town that is on fire. At the end of each level, you must pass through a gateway; each gateway is guarded buy an evil gatekeeper. The final stage takes place in the Castle of Evil Demons. Here you will face a giant bee and King Loki himself! ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
