Super Ghouls n Ghosts by Capcom Words by Carl Williams
Super Nintendo– 1993
different segments and the bosses are menacingly evil looking (looking at
you giant Albatross type bird).
Those looking for a better home version, through emulation, Capcom has
placed the arcade version of Ghouls n Ghosts on two compilations so far Capcom Classics Collection: Reloaded for the Playstation Portable and
Capcom Classics Collection Volume 1 for
Playstation 2 and Xbox. Since these are
emulated versions of the arcade game
they are obviously closer than Sega's
slightly limited version.
In the end, Super Ghouls n Ghosts just
takes more of the cake and double jumps
away with it. While the Genesis version
does an admirable job of replicating the
arcade game, it was just not enough to
keep me coming back.
Most level
backgrounds are simply black while the
Super Nintendo version really rocked with
thickets, animated waves and thunder
clouds.
Simply put, if you are not after
the arcade experience the SNES version
wins.
Verdict: Super Ghouls n Ghosts for the
SNES.
