Ghosts 'n Goblins DescriptionYou play Sir Arthur, a knight who must run and jump through six horziontally- or vertically scrolling levels to rescue his sweetheart, Princess Guinevere. Throw lances, axes etc. to kill zombies, bats, demons and other assorted foes. You must defeat the end-of-level boss before you can move on to the next stage.Know anything more about this game? Cheats, Tricks and BugsIn the cave on level three, go to the upper level and move your character to the right of the rock, just to the left of the second ladder. Move left and right, shooting rapidly. A Zombie will keep appearing and you can score 100,000 points before time runs out, but you will also get two extra lives in the process.Game IntroductionThe game has you controlling a knight who throws his currently picked up-weapon (axe, lance, cross, dagger, or firebrand) to kill enemies (zombies, bats, demons and ghosts). Two hits from an enemy attack will kill him. The first destroys his armour and then he runs around in underpants. There are six levels with a halfway restart point on each. A map shows your progress throughout the levels at start of each life.Game PlayA map represents the kingdom with various themed levels:
At the end of each stage an end-of-level monster must be destroyed (Orges, Dragons, etc.). Bonuses and new weapons are picked up by killing a monster that is carrying a pot. Only one weapon is availble at a time. Armour can be replaced by jumping up at certain hidden spots on some levels. This action causes a pot to appear. On level one, the spot is just after the halfway flying demon, just before the gravestone (see http://www.wwnet.com/~grimrod/roms/gngdrops.html for more information). Shooting a gravestone fifteen times sumons a demon who casts a spell that turns you into a frog for a limited time.

VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TriviaThe original Japanese name, "Makaimura," literally translates to "Demon World Village."Many people (including staff members at Capcom USA and Nintendo of America) believe this is Arthur from the Athurian legend, but he is really just a knight who is trying to rescue his beloved princess. eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Ghosts 'n Goblins Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Capcom.
