 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : To quote the original instructions (written in Japlish):
 "Ghosts'n'Goblins is the classic fighting fantasy story, heroic knight
 to rescue beautiful maiden from clutches of demonic Overlord".

 GAMEPLAY : The unnamed knight must battle his way through five zones
 filled with the usual selection of monsters and other nasty creatures:

 1) Graveyard
 2) Dark Forest
 3) Ice Palace
 4) Monsters' Den
 5) Cavern System

  At the end of each zone is a demon to kill - not an easy task! Some
 creatures carry pots which they drop when they die. Inside the pot
 is an object, usually a weapon, which you can pick up. There are
 three weapons, with different rates of fire: the slowest is the fire
 bomb, the lance is what you start with, while the best is the dagger.
 You start with a suit of armour which will disintegrate if you hit a
 monster, leaving you in your underwear; another hit will be fatal.

 COMMENTS : "Very playable and addictive".
 RATING : 95% (CRASH #30, July 1986)

 NOW : Still an enjoyable, and challenging, game.
