I always regret not growing up when the likes of "Ghosts and Goblins" came out on the C64, and being able to go out and buy the game as soon as it was launched…
I could have possibly gone out and bought "Gory Ghost" though, a clone of the classic game which was being worked on in the late 80’s… sadly as with many in GTW, this was never completed or released anywhere.
Apart from looking very similiar to the Elite classic conversion, the game plays nowhere near as good and has a number of bugs and bad pieces of gameplay.
The preview takes place over a reasonably sized one level map, before finishing. You are able to shoot bullets at various enemies, and jump over numerous platforms.
This would have likely bombed at full price level, if there hadn’t been much to improve over Ghosts and Goblins, but possibly would have done fairly well on budget.
This obscure little title is so, because no credits are present to tell us who actually worked on this game.. so finding out more about this game is on a slow slide for now…
A game crying out for Chris Butler to save…
