Hey All, thanks for watching. I am working on a Megaman X Cover project with some added story elements. Check out what I have so far and let me know what you think! ua-cam.com/video/wneyK7SeIsQ/v-deo.html
I remember playing this game with my dad. Every weekend, at the evening, my dad and i tried to beat the game. It was so fun, and hard. Many fails and retries too. We shared the controller everytime someone dies in the game. We had a lot of fun together, haha. We didn't beat the game back then. I stopped playing this game and I moved to Far Cry games. 4 years later, I decided to beat the game myself. I did. It was hard, but I did it. I told my dad: "Dad ! Do you remember Super Ghouls N Ghosts ? That game we played a lot ?" He said "Yes ! I remember. Are you still playing it after all these years ?" And I said "Well, yes. And guess what ? I beat it !" He said he was proud of me. I have a lot of games like this one. But I will never sell them to keep memories... Jesus Christ I can't hold my tear... Nice video by the way :)
I played this 27 years ago while renting it from a local video store, never beat it. I don't think I ever made it past that second level. I want to say I did beat that star-fish monster at some point a year later but immediately got killed soon after. I stopped renting after that.
Truly? Then I really was ahead of my peers. I beat the game as a kid myself many times on snes. I'm also left-handed, on the Dean's List, hacked computers at the age of 8, Paypal and websites not long after. I guess I am special though LOL. 20 years of waiting wow. I couldn't live my life waiting. I would have to take responsibility and succeed myself.
Dark souls isn’t that hard, really. There were so many hard nes/snes games by comparison. If you take your time with the souls games they’re manageable, I love all of em
@@Retronomicon yeah, a lot of retro games didnt have anything to go off of so they just made new stuff, now theres a TON of relying on nostalgia and orchestral & movie-like stuff for big budget games
Am I the only one who finds the atmosphere in that first level where the sky is pitch black and trees look gloomy absolutely magical and captivating ? Gives me a certain feeling can't tell what..
I'm baffled you don't fight the bat.. I always assumed you would fight that unique looking bat instead it's a guy who makes platforms from his groin so you can give him a facial, what on earth did I just watch. As I kid I finished this game and got the bracelet and just assumed you couldn't fight the bat without and could never get through the game on expert with the bracelet.
Kids now never knew the meaning of true fear. This was it. I haven't played this in like 20 years and it still gives me anxiety watching it :). Well done.
I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! Aww man I still remember every detail of this game after all these years!! I’ve been searching for the name of this game since the last time I played it as a kid. This game stands out for its badassery! The detailed spooky atmosphere even down to the music! I remember the little diddy of the first level in my head all these years. So happy I found this. All these years I would try to look up this game and I would always click on castlevania videos thinking it was this. I saw the cover of this game online and instantly remembered it like it all came back too me! Its been 23 years since I heard this music and watched this gameplay. Aww man the memories. I remember u could lose your armor and be chased by zombies in your underwear lol. Man im very happy right now. Thank you for loading this up. Subscribed!
Vino5150 - What a cool story. Now you need to run out and buy yourself an SNES classic before they are no longer on store shelves. Nintendo has stopped making and shipping them and they WILL get expensive very quick. It’s loaded with games you should remember playing as a kid. Good luck!
you can play also the coin version of Ghouls N Ghosts on mame emulator or the pc - engine (turbo grafx in usa) version. It's different from this for snes. There is also the "first episode" of this game for coin op, it's called Ghost 'n' goblins, always playable on mame. There is also a a remake for playstation portable (PSP) of Ghost 'n' goblins . You can try it with pppsssppp emulator. And for snes there is a game "brother" of this: Demon Crest.
This game is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece. I remember playing this for hours when I was 10 years old in 1993. The nostalgia is significant. Thank you sir
Agh hahahahahaha you BROKE your controller I had a big 'n chunky MAD CATZ snes controller made all the difference unlike those pissy little snes controllers now!
Arcade sticks make a world of difference. There are a lot of arcade classics that are a nightmare to play on a gamepad and a breeze to play on a stick. Im not a fan of gamepads at all.
Aww shit.. here we go again.... Also: Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Arthur, how DARE you not have the bracelet! That's it! Go back and get it then save the princess then you are grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded for 100 years!
This game is nightmare fuel. Pitch black with high contrast highlights of tree leaves and skulls under a cold wet grass. That sea level still gives me chills. The music is something else.
I watched my father playing this when i was I child and i saw how he struggle just to finish this game... So nostalgic... Thanks to the internet i can still watch this...
I loved the stereo that the SNES produced when I first played this great game. Sadly, I was never ever able to pass the first level! This goes to show that you don't need a new generation console to have fun. This 16 bit SNES gave tons of fun to most that played the games! Flat graphics but stereo music, made these games classics! I wish I could turn the hands of time back. So my mom, dad and brother would still be alive!
This was my favorite snes game. Such a classic. Brings up so many awesome memories as a kid playing this with my brother and uncle. It took us like 10 years to beat this game. Even though it was one of the hardest games I've ever played, it's also one of the best games I've ever played. These are the type of games where you actually had to have skills to play.
Man, does watching this ever take me back! I was never able to beat the game. The amount of memorization and skill required to do what you did is awesome. Thanks for posting!
@liukangstoupee Yeah. The first death trap that you need to use trial and error for (probably just once) is the water part of the first level where the wave in the background destroys some of the land. It doesn't matter if you're in the air, if you're above a platform that ceases to exist, no matter the armor, it's an insta kill.
56:01 The critical hit that made you a legend of Super Ghouls N' Ghosts 57:34 The CRITICAL HIT Heard Around Capcom Universe, giving you the title of "The God Of Super Ghouls N' Ghosts." We're Not Worthy!!!! We're Not Worthy!!!! We're Not Worthy!!!! We're Not Worthy!!!! I am speechless in such a teary and joyful way to see someone do the ultimate achievement for this game. Congratulations!!!!
17:47 HENCHMAN: Boss! He's getting closer! BOSS: Put some weird ass spikes and gonorrhea on the floor to slow him down! And some of those weird flying babies! How many of those we got left?
I’ve been playing this game over again on my old Wii U, and honestly…this guy takes so many risks and makes it work it’s amazing 😂 You don’t need to hold the magic bracelet until the next to last level (most people consider it a handicap) but this guy got it early on, used it’s strengths, and made every level look easy… 😂
Good thing the ending isn't as bad as... "Congratulation, This story is happy end, Thank you!..." "Being the wise and courageour knight that you are, You feel strongth welling in your body. Return to Starting point! Challenge again!"
Capcom made some wickedly hard titles back in the day. This and "U.N Squadron" drove you to the point of wanting to launch your SNES out the window in a rage quit... so seeing a perfect run on Super Ghouls N Ghosts is almost enough to make you cry!
All these years I was thinking I made it close to the end of this game back in the day, but then I realize after watching this that I had only made it to the end of stage 4.
This game had one of coolest soundtracks ever! I beat the game first go around, but could never do it the second time with the bracelet. Super hard! Props for making this video!!
Magnificent game for it’s time. Truly Loved every aspect until reaching the end to discover I had to return to the beginning and replay all stages in order to beat the game. I was furious and quit. I put the game down and never picked it back up. It’s been 30 years. Thank you for the post and the ending I felt cheated out of for so long. LoL
Glad you liked it mate. Kids these days don't know what real difficulty is. (Even though I am glad to see this type of difficulty fade away for the most part)
I tell ya, I must have been carved out of pixelated stone back in 93 - cleared level 1 first attempt on xmas day 93, got to boss on level 2. I considered the game hard. Furthest I got was a multi headed dragon. Played it on the snes mini yesterday - can't even get halfway through the first level. Now I consider it insanely hard, and a bit unfair.
Truly the best days of video gaming.. Simple 2d graphics.. Amazing soundtrack.. Tunes stay stuck in your head forever.. Even modern movie like games don't come close to this..
Love this so much, the hubby and I would spend countless hours playing this. We did reach the end only to be disappointed by the "bracelet", we never played it again after. Thanks for this!
Cockatrice, Hydra, Bēruaroken, and just about any of the ground enemies in the game. I use it and beat it all the way to Asutroauto and Nebiroth. It’s not that difficult. I did this in 6th grade. Six years ago.
Legendary Game, one of my all time favorite Retro video games. As a very young child i could never pass the second level. All in faded days. Thank Very much for this you, for this. This guy's A pro. Watch & Learn.
I think I managed to beat this ONCE the honest way. That was a gargantuan effort and it wasn’t nearly as well played as yours. I have a lot of respect for you not only making it through but doing as well as you did. Kudos. This was a nice trip down memory lane 😊
I remember playing this around 8 years old or so, thought I was just bad at it. Played it today on the Switch, and thought i was still just terrible at it. Went to look for tips online and only then realized it's one of the hardest titles ever made, and 8 year old me never stood a chance, and neither does current age me for that matter 🤣
Took me forever to get far in this game & I remember being so pissed at 29:37 ! I couldn't believe this fkn game is starting over. I've never been past that part. No way I'm doing that whole ordeal again. There's more fish in the sea sorry princess!
Exactly how I felt. On top of that, the bracelet is garbage, having to do it all again with that awful weapon was worse than the extra enemies that come at you.
Thx for sharing...what a superb run! This game cost me 3 years of my youth 😮 but finally I beat it (just before the PS1 came out 😅). One of the best Retro OSTs too in my opinion...
sponkmyers Ever heard of God Of War, or at least the Dark Souls series? You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, and like the guy above me said; Super Meat Boy was one of the hardest platformers I’ve ever played in my entire life. There are plenty of extremely hard hair-ripping games around. If you want “SKILL”, go ahead and do an Ultra-Nightmare run of DOOM (2016) or play the entire Halo Master Chief Collection with all the skulls on while in Legendary difficulty. “No skill in games” my ass.
I been looking for this game for ages. I forgot the name of it and all. I used to watch my uncle play this game when I was a kid. Finally figured out what it was called. Thanks
i remember beating this game in my youth(with tremendous effort). only to get the message to do it all over, i took the game out of my snes(forcefully), didn't even turn it off, packed it up and took it to the video game store( Willow Video) and traded it fuckin in for a different game.
@@anthonybotonis4541 I don't know if it still is since I don't own a switch. It was my brother's I borrowed for a weekend and it was then when I made that comment a year ago
The most frustrating thing about this game was getting through all the levels, and being told that I had to return to the beginning and start over. The Goddess Bracelet was a pain, and I never beat the final boss.
Thank you for making this, such happy memories with friends. I had a friend Jerry who would play this and Castlevania and I would watch and be amazed. I just bought this for Xbox and discovered I love this version of the game. So sad not on xbox.
I finished this game (non secret ending) back in 1992. Only thing I didn't care for in the game was the music and the lag in areas on the SNES. Still one of my most proud accomlishments in all my years of gaming.

How did you change to the different colored armour?
@@Hats1976 It is an item dropped in the game. It is a powerup, you lose it if you get hit and will have to find it again.

My games were a gift from my dad, I feel the sentiment. Congrats on beating this monster. Thanks for watching. :)
@john loper If you like platformers, castlevania is some of the best. Not hard like this though.
Nintendo just added this game to the list of games free for Nintendo online members.
@@762jeremy Then you gotta get it and beat the game on pro man!
I guess this video is how a lot of people got to see further levels in this game...
Jamie Acree I agree lol growing up I hated this game. Never passed it!
Exactly
Hahahah! So true! I could not get past the towers. Grrrr!! 😠
Lol
I hated this game
Finally, after 20 years i can see how this game ends
🤣🤘
Man, since I was in grade school. I'm turning 25 now, finally sees this ends.

im just 17 and my father told me about this game like 5 years ago he could never complete it xd this is amazing
This was dark souls for 90s kids....
Exactly
Way harder than dark souls
Dark souls isn’t that hard, really. There were so many hard nes/snes games by comparison. If you take your time with the souls games they’re manageable, I love all of em
Way harder
Was? dude... I think you typed _is_ wrong.
Any channel that can beat Super Ghouls n Ghosts clean gets my immediate respect. Cheers!
BROOOOO the NOSTALGIA!!! OMG I swear I remember I used to play this game as a kid, I'm glad I grew up in these ages as a kid. Good ass times
Better than the dark times of today with small rays of light. Even Dark Souls went Open World now. Fun game, but my least favorite one.
This makes Dark Souls look like a walk in the park

The soundtrack to this game is just simply incredible. For me top 3 videogame soundtracks of all time.
It is surprising how some of the music on these older consoles are better than some of the triple A stuff out there.
It’s early capcom
Super Castlevania IV, especially the chandelier area, is another amazing soundtrack
@@Retronomicon yeah, a lot of retro games didnt have anything to go off of so they just made new stuff, now theres a TON of relying on nostalgia and orchestral & movie-like stuff for big budget games

You are in Holly ground at night! And ghosts are chasing you because you are going to rescue your loved one, twice! 😅
I was looking for the Sega Genesis Ghost and Goblins game but, this is a super intense version. Maybe the Japanese release?
@g1stylempdesign929 this is the Super Nintendo version. I had it back in the day; never finished the first playthrough.
you said it man! My thoughts exactly
I love how he put secret ending because no one has ever made it that far
shh, it's a secret.
Hahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment
I'm baffled you don't fight the bat.. I always assumed you would fight that unique looking bat instead it's a guy who makes platforms from his groin so you can give him a facial, what on earth did I just watch. As I kid I finished this game and got the bracelet and just assumed you couldn't fight the bat without and could never get through the game on expert with the bracelet.
I made it to the secret ending. Let me tell you it wasnt easy.
Well it took me 34 years but I finally beat this sadistic game, this dude did it without getting hit? He must be in the matrix
how could it take you 34 yrs? It only came out in -91
I could actually do this too....
It just took practice and memory....
I must have played for about 300 hours total!
He got hit once. Took his shield.
I think it was tool assisted. I saw enemies attacks go through him.
sprdvx pulling the ol' Billy Mitchell with edited save states.
Kids now never knew the meaning of true fear.
This was it.
I haven't played this in like 20 years and it still gives me anxiety watching it :).
Well done.
Pure nostalgia. I absolutely loved this when it came out. I was 12 years old!
Same. Was a huge technological advancement when it released

We are not worthy of this valiant soldier. Until this day I had come to the conclusion that this game was unbeatable.
Princess: "Arthur get the bracelet and come back here."
Arthur: "Are you fucking kidding me?!"
I think it was worth it because looks like he's on his way to smash the princess at the end.
I literally said the same thing when I beat it today with a ton of save states.
The level and character design are amazing in this game! Definitely ahead of it’s time! So much nostalgia in this!

Gotta get the knife, gotta get the knife.
Thanks for this! I never made it past the first stage so it was cool seeing all of the levels.
3:45 Chest appears.
Checks to see what it offers - it offers the torch.
“Ha ha! No chance!”
Fuck that torch that thing had no distance-hit ratio
It was a piece of shit
Cockatrice, Hydra, Bēruaroken, and just about any of the ground enemies in the game. I use it and beat it all the way to Asutroauto and Nebiroth. It’s not that difficult. I did this in 6th grade. Six years ago.
It's funny that I never really saw the dagger being effective. The torch actually made me appreciate the dagger.
Legendary Game, one of my all time favorite Retro video games. As a very young child i could never pass the second level. All in faded days. Thank Very much for this you, for this. This guy's A pro. Watch & Learn.
Loved it, bought back those sweet memories everyone world love to re-live
Glad you enjoyed it
Omg!!! This brings back so many memories. I haven’t played this game in 30 years.
Thanks for watching! I am glad to bring that nostalgia spirit to you.
hated this impossible game as a kid
me too. lol
seriously i never actullay completed it lol

I think I managed to beat this ONCE the honest way. That was a gargantuan effort and it wasn’t nearly as well played as yours. I have a lot of respect for you not only making it through but doing as well as you did. Kudos. This was a nice trip down memory lane 😊
"How many sprites would you like on the screen to slow the game down?"
"Yes."
Actually it was a coding error causing the game to slow down not too much sprites. You can find a rom hack called "restoration" that fix everything
My favourite game of the series!
I kept forgetting to breathe while watching this
I remember playing this around 8 years old or so, thought I was just bad at it. Played it today on the Switch, and thought i was still just terrible at it. Went to look for tips online and only then realized it's one of the hardest titles ever made, and 8 year old me never stood a chance, and neither does current age me for that matter 🤣
Took me forever to get far in this game & I remember being so pissed at 29:37 ! I couldn't believe this fkn game is starting over. I've never been past that part. No way I'm doing that whole ordeal again. There's more fish in the sea sorry princess!
Exactly how I felt. On top of that, the bracelet is garbage, having to do it all again with that awful weapon was worse than the extra enemies that come at you.
Bruh, so you just left her there?
Thx for sharing...what a superb run! This game cost me 3 years of my youth 😮 but finally I beat it (just before the PS1 came out 😅). One of the best Retro OSTs too in my opinion...
Back when games took skill to play.
sponkmyers plenty of tough indies these days, if that’s your thing
you mean memorizing
sponkmyers b
Super meat boy was hard AF
sponkmyers Ever heard of God Of War, or at least the Dark Souls series? You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, and like the guy above me said; Super Meat Boy was one of the hardest platformers I’ve ever played in my entire life. There are plenty of extremely hard hair-ripping games around. If you want “SKILL”, go ahead and do an Ultra-Nightmare run of DOOM (2016) or play the entire Halo Master Chief Collection with all the skulls on while in Legendary difficulty. “No skill in games” my ass.
Thank you so much! after 25 years i can finally see what happens after the big wave in level 1 :D
I hope one day Arthur gets into super smash bros ultimate
I been looking for this game for ages. I forgot the name of it and all. I used to watch my uncle play this game when I was a kid. Finally figured out what it was called. Thanks
Glad it helped, hope it brought back good memories.
I'm here because they announced a new one today for switch.
A new Ghouls N Ghosts? Nice.
Fuck yea
@@Retronomicon Ghosts n Goblins Resurrected. It comes out for Xbox/PS in a week or so.
I tried this game the other night and I was convinced you needed about 70% luck. But there is actually skill involved. I'm impressed
I love old gothic/spooky games like this.
I play a lot of oldies, rarely is a new AAA game worthy of play for me.
What were some other ones?
Brings back so many memories of the early 1990s!
Some of the best times. Soo many good games from many different developers.
i remember beating this game in my youth(with tremendous effort). only to get the message to do it all over, i took the game out of my snes(forcefully), didn't even turn it off, packed it up and took it to the video game store( Willow Video) and traded it fuckin in for a different game.
yes, that is a bit of an insult. Capcom must have enjoyed mocking its punters. Far too hard and extremely unfair.
...and traded it for....GRADIUS III FUUUUUUU!!!!
As hard as this game was, I think it took me almost 3 months of continuous play to finally beat it back in the late 90s!! Great vid
Practice makes perfect.
The music for the SNES always sounded better 🤗🤗
watching this in 2021 remember my childhood and where my Addiction and Anger from video games first began haha
I am sure therapists were wondering why they got such an uptick in business.
I remember getting to 4:30 and thinking I had completed the whole game lol I had never even carried on playing after that😂
You saved yourself grueling hours of defeat, I would call that a win. :)
The music to this game was so underrated - what an incredible soundtrack
Lol I just played this game for my first time today on the switch and I couldn’t even beat the first level
You have to do 2 run yo beat the game. The 2 run with the shitty braçalet of princess
Is this available on switch???
@@anthonybotonis4541 I don't know if it still is since I don't own a switch. It was my brother's I borrowed for a weekend and it was then when I made that comment a year ago
Unreal.... I can barely get through the first level without throwing my controller against the wall.... you are crazy good.
Agh hahahahaha I can and In my day when I was 13 I beat it on professional It was easier on professional for some weird AF reason
Princess prin prin:
Bust - 88cm
waist - 58cm
Hip - 90cm
Damn!
I beat this game when I was 10 years old, I guess I am not that bad
Good job dude !!! Nice gameplay
I like that the Windows unplugged device sound plays at the moment the demon breaks through the Window. Nice.
44:18 After playing for like 5 hours and I start seeing the screen move.. I was like WELL SHIT I'M FINALLY LOOSING IT,
my god I played this since I was a child and then I never remembered the name and today you helped me, it is so nostalgic seeing it
anyone wanna explain to me why we needed to know the Princess's measurements?
holy shit, that is what that is. wtf.. converted to american: 34 22 35
because asians who designed the game are creepy af like that back then lul
i love it
Because Japan.
because men
Japan loves lots of character information. That's a good way to pad it.
LOVE this game. Wish I could’ve gotten past the second level as a kid. Nice to finally see the whole thing.
This is one game I could never beat without an emulator. The farthest Id ever get was the water level.
The water Level is a Piece of piss!
The most frustrating thing about this game was getting through all the levels, and being told that I had to return to the beginning and start over. The Goddess Bracelet was a pain, and I never beat the final boss.
Yes, it is a tedious way to add "replay" value, that's for sure.
A game well worth the spend though. Games today are easy and done with.
I have finished the dark souls series. this is way harder
Thank you for making this, such happy memories with friends. I had a friend Jerry who would play this and Castlevania and I would watch and be amazed. I just bought this for Xbox and discovered I love this version of the game. So sad not on xbox.
15:49 holy crap!
SKILLZ MAD SKILLZ!
I finished this game (non secret ending) back in 1992. Only thing I didn't care for in the game was the music and the lag in areas on the SNES. Still one of my most proud accomlishments in all my years of gaming.
Can’t remember passing the second level.
Very hard game
This is great . Needed to see this today .brings back memories .
did you purposefully miss the chest at the very beginning of the 1st stage?
Probably did, Eh.
Probablyndidnt know it. I mean its a weapon whod skip that
@Tyrone Taylor The wizard only comes out when certain conditions are met... It never comes out on the very first chest of the game.
