Whilst I won't argue the result the C64 does use some of the arcade tunes, just not the one you were referencing... and the title music is one of the best SIDs on the system.
Hi matey, its great composed music but just wanted that theme matey as lets be honest... The SID chip is more than capable 😉 Remember the OCEAN loading music on the C64? That was another C64 classic 😎
The 'UP' to jump control was due to early joysticks only having one distinct fire button. It was only later on, games supported more than one button and took advantage of it.
Hi matey yep I remember that but also recall some games using keyboard controls alongside the joystick, I recall Kung Fu Master on C64 using space bar alongside the joystick to toggle punches and kicks as an example. I am sure there are others, but as you say limited buttons then so can see why it was done that way.
I like this format of comparing arcade conversion. Why didnt the CPC use two buttons? My 6128plus has two buttons on the controller? Can you do one on Robotron 2084?
Hi Mark, glad you like the video format matey and thanks for watching 😎 Robotron... The sounds on the arcade version were lovely and loud and impressive. Will consider this title for a future VS video matey, cheers 😎😉
Great Saturday morning viewing there duffy buddy 😁👍 this game on any system is brutal... the master system apart from the arcade will always be my fav though 😁
Hi Steve, what better way to kick off a Saturday than a classic CAPCOM arcade game viewing 😎 The SMS was an amazing conversion matey, cant go wrong with that 😀 Had a good weekend matey?
Such a great game. Agree with all of this except ST over Amiga. I played both BITD and preferred Amiga - although, both paled in comparison to the mega drive….or even the SMS. Not using the arcade music was a huge mistake. The SNES version is absolutely incredible. I know it’s not really comparable, but I remember seeing (and hearing) it for the 1st time and being completely blown away. Keeping with the Capcom theme, how about UN Squadron compared. (Another of my SNES favourites)
Hi matey as you saw I have the SNES version to play and looking forward to giving it a visit 😎 To be fair not a lot between the ST and Amiga but I like to give a verdict as seen a few comparison videos showing the different systems but no verdicts. UN Squadron... A shoot em up if I recall?
I would agree with your opinion on all of those systems. I think if a port of an arcade game has music it should have the original music and as for the ones that didn't that was no excuse as the Amiga had decent sound chips that got better with the 600 and 1200. The Master System and Megadrive were the closest to the arcade port and were quality conversions though I don't think the nes got a port of ghouls n ghosts because of ghosts n goblins as they were the same game with slightly different titles.
Hi Danny the music from the arcade original is so iconic so such a shame the home computers chose to make their own tunes. I think they could have handled it especially the 16 Bits. But the consoles more than made up for it 😎
Hi Peter, that was an amazing version and such a great console that unfortunately was never officially released here in the UK, only available on import. Were you lucky enough to own a PC Engine?
Hi Michael it was not a bad conversion matey, just preferred the gameplay on the Speccy version myself. Check out the Ghosts N Goblins comparison I did a while ago... Another great conversion matey 😉
My word the arcade and the C64 were tough games but really good. In fact Zzap! gave both the C64 and Amiga versions a Gold medal. Sorry but the SNES version still has to be mentioned but I know why this is separate, as this is a fantastic game and one I could complete on the hardest setting. Great game to compare and loving the bar set up now. (Apologies for the little outburst Friday but bad week and not fair on that attitude on someone else. Still disagree with up for jump though 😂)
You could complete this on hard !!!!!! TOP MAN !!!! 😎 Bar and room are getting there matey, still got bits to do but little at a time now. Outburst Friday? No need to apologise matey as I dont think I noticed my friend 😂😉🍻
Great video has always but yes you are right about the C64 and Amiga music being wrong. I personally like the music on both of them even know its wrong but thats me. You should try the Ghost n Goblins arcade version on C64. 👍
Hi Gary, musis is still well done but cant understand why they didnt try the proper theme? I did Ghosts N Goblins a while ago matey back in the early days of the channel 😎
Hey man, did you forget you can fire both up and down in Ghouls n' Ghosts? It's cool man, I just didn't see you flinging lances and disks upwards at the vultures. Oh and one tiny correction (again no big deal) Ghouls n' Ghosts came out on the Super Grafx not the TG-16. At any rate, for me, the absolute best port is the Sega Genesis. That game was my 1989 and one of the sole reasons I went for the Genesis in 1989 instead of a TG-16. I was really on the fence and driving my parents crazy. One day it was "I want the Genesis" while the next was "Only the TG-16 for me!" Then one of my good friends got his Genesis early (for good grades or something) and he only had to show me two games...Altered Beast and Ghouls n' Ghosts. From that point on it was all Genesis. One last thing, I know many consider the Super Grafx better but not me. I own them both in their original form and while the Super Grafx port is incredible there are some differences that I don't care for...like sound effects. It's a shame Sega chose to limit the space on the cart because with the 3 megs the Super Grafx port had Sega would have been so arcade close it would have been scary. I honestly believe the Genesis could with enough space on cart do a full arcade conversion of the coin-op cab no doubt about it.
Hi matey its a great game and love your predicament on which system to go for.... Your poor parents !!!! 😁 But as you say I think for the time you chose the better system as more games etc, but I still have a lot of love for PC Engines as they were so iconic for the time and a system never officially released here in the UK only on import. Where in the world you based matey?
Play Ghouls and Ghosts Arcade on the Commodore 64, updated 2021 version. Better animation, music and background. Also Commando Arcade, all levels, updated graphics etc also came out in 2021.
Hi buddy yep played the Commando remake, jobs well done on many of these reworkings. Speccy version of kung Fu Master was awful but the remake, far superior... Mister Kung Fu if I recall 😉😉
I had it in the SNES and liked it, but I never got very far. Quite impressive in the Spectrum. I wonder, If someone did a 128k Version with the music. And the Master System Version is definitely worth a look.
Hi matey nice thought about the 128k speccy, but to my knowledge no separate release back in theday which is a shame. Master System version was really well done matey 😎
I see the bottle jamiesons there Duffy, from one hammer to another can I recommend ginger ale & jamiesons in the autumn and jamiesons with cranberry for the Christmas period (trust me) don’t know it until you try it 😅 Ghouls and ghosts ghosts & goblins all too hard for me on any system or arcade cab 😂 Iv got huge respect for the series but damn nope too tough for me. 😂 It’s a rythem and pattern your doing better then I would , there’s too much going on 😅 every jama cab I play it on has a difference in difficulty settings compared to the original board on the original cab. Wow to be fair the c64 visuals are better than I was expecting but wow the music so off, they do that sometimes on the 8bits , surely imitating the music is the easy part of an arcade port but what do we know. The speccy sound does sound better then c64 even with no music. It actually looks really nice but not sure how long I can stare at that black background 😅 Amstrad again not bad to be fair! Had nothing on the speccy version and yes your right about the screen change delay that’s kind of annoying. Atari ST looks lovely but the music doe sent suit yet I still like it 😅 Mate I really like this ST version I had no idea it was a 16 bit console or the amiga 😮 Amiga takes it from those two I think and not sure if speccy or c64 for the battle of the 8bits 🤔 Really enjoying this video duffy 🔥💪🏻🤩🕹 I think the master system is my fav even over the MD not sure why 🤷♂️ but yeah why no NES version maybe to focused on castlevania . Mate Duffy your a boy awesome as always keep rocking 🍻
Cheers matey this is one tough game for sure !!!!! But one I still come back to, that said I never seem to get very far ! Just checked out your channel and gave you a Sub will take a look at some of your videos matey 😉🍺 Would love to do the boot fair thing but.... Like my bed to much and know you have to go at silly O clock to get the decent finds. Thanks for watching and commenting matey, much appreiciated😉
The Sega master system version seems to get a bad rep amoung fans of the game. But as a master system owner in my youth I thought it was very good and is to date the only version iv completed. Also a big up to its 3d spiritual successor of maximo. Another one on my "completed it mate" list. The final boss on that one was disappointingly easy compared to the rest of the game. Never played it's follow up though. Where the megadrive shined for me was with its mid to late 80s arcade conversions
Hi matey, the SMS version was really well done I thought and did the game proud. I remember Maximo !!!! I have the follow up too.... The Army of Zin if I recall? Must give them a replay as great games. Yep the MD did some great conversions back in the day and still a great console 😎
The c64 version very blocky but played OK. Levels similar to arcade version Speccy and amstrad seem to have completely altered the level design The amiga version did have alot of extra background graphics on level 1 and 2 over the atari port. Almost as if software creations ran out of time to improve all the levels. Why they didn't include the 2 button control that would of made it alot better As u say the new tune by Tim follin was good but why not use the iconic arcade tune Megadrive version was superb and made me buy one Master system great conversion with great graphics and sound
The Megadrive version was really well done, if I recall was quite an early release for the MD so would have helped shift a few consoles im sure. Pushing up to jump was a major balls up but happened on all the home computer versions of this for some reason. If only they tweaked the controls would have made it so much better.
Classic 👍, C64 version to me is just average, Speccy looks smooth and agree gets map, if they made the Speccy 128k version I feel they would've knocked it out of the park, never played the ST version does look better then the Amiga and to me Amiga version is just like it's little brother disappointing, for sure the MegaDrive/Genesis version was the best, shame as u say the C64 could've done better with that Sid Chip, but still a classic game just disappointed with the micro computer versions
Hi Glenn, yes matey a real shame over the tune and the SID chip could have handled it im sure. The console versions I looked at, more than made up for it though 😃 A 128k with a tune on the Speccy would have been great and your not the first to say that so something they could have explored.
I disagree here with the C64 coming second because of the music and then the Speccy with no music. For me the c64 version was a lot more playable out of the 8bits and the music throughout is superb from Tim Follin. Similarly the Atari ST version came first but has the same tune as the C64 so the music debate doesn't stack up 🤔. The ST and Amiga versions are very similar so it's a tough one. The Megadrive version is pretty spot on and in definitely one of the best versions. Still haven't beat the arcade version in all these years mind.
Hi matey, always good to hear others opinions and views 😎 I personally felt the Speccy version played better for me, as for the C64 music it is still really well done on the C64 but dont know why they didnt try to do the original arcade theme as know the SID chip was more than capable 😉 The console conversions were really good and I am not surprised you havent finished the arcade game.... Very few have I reckon it is a toughie matey 😉
Hi matey, yes I did a VS video a long while ago now where I compared the 8 Bit systems for Ghosts N Goblins. Was really well done and a title worth checking out 😉 Go find my video matey under the VS / Comparison playlists, be good to hear your thoughts buddy 😎
@@OGDuffy I am all for a quick blast on an emulator if I am paying out of the arse for something, but I prefer the bargain hunting of grabbing a PS3 game for £3 and spending weeks on it, Dungeon Siege III being such a title, I thought it was great despite the mixed reviews.
Music from the Arcade version is good, C64 Ghouls n' Ghosts soundtrack is a SID chip masterpiece by Tim Follin. Anyone how hasn't heard it, its worth checking out ua-cam.com/video/wz36JWHTk-A/v-deo.html
SIS chip is always quality and produced such amazing sounds for the time. Would have like to hear it do the original them still though matey 😉 Commando was another classic tune too

Hi Mark, its a love hate relationship 😁 So hard in places that I fully understand peoples frustrations 😎
Arthur in the AMSTRAD version looks like a dude powerwalking in a shellsuit
Hi matey, never thought of it like that ... But now you say it.... 😆😂
Had this on the Master System, was a pretty decent game in my eyes!
For sure, way better then what we got on our micro computers
A great conversion on that system.
I hear you there Glenn 😃
I have the master system,megadrive and snes versions and love them all ❤💯
Hi Gray, you have some great versions there matey.... All very, very good and well presented conversions matey😀

Hi OGDuffy. I just bought this and it includes this game. ua-cam.com/video/zm-N3oOio4w/v-deo.html
