    Relentless Challenge and Nostalgic Appeal - Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts Review
    Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
    "Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts," a classic action-platformer released for the Super Nintendo in 1991, is a game that both captivates and frustrates in equal measure. Developed by Capcom, this installment in the renowned series retains the series' signature difficulty while introducing some technical enhancements that make for a visually and audibly appealing experience.
    Graphics and Sound:
    One of the game's standout features is its upgraded graphics compared to its predecessors. The Super Nintendo's capabilities allow for more detailed sprites and backgrounds, resulting in a visually pleasing game world. The levels are rich with variety, ranging from haunted forests to treacherous caverns, each with its own unique aesthetic. While the graphics have aged gracefully, they still exude a certain charm that fans of retro gaming will undoubtedly appreciate.
    The audio design complements the game's dark and eerie atmosphere. The haunting melodies and sound effects contribute to the sense of foreboding and urgency as players navigate through challenging stages. Though the music may not be as memorable as some of Capcom's other iconic compositions, it effectively adds to the overall ambiance of the game.
    Gameplay and Challenge:
    Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is infamous for its unforgiving difficulty. The game offers a stiff challenge right from the start, demanding precise platforming skills and quick reflexes. Players will find themselves facing a constant barrage of enemies, environmental hazards, and challenging boss encounters. The protagonist's armor mechanic, which forces players to be hit twice before truly dying, adds an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay.
    However, this high difficulty can also be a double-edged sword. While it provides a sense of accomplishment for those who conquer its trials, it may also lead to frustration and discouragement for players seeking a more approachable experience. The control mechanics, though generally responsive, can occasionally feel a bit slippery, which can lead to unintended deaths.

    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...

You can try it with pppsssppp emulator. And for snes there is a game "brother" of this: Demon Crest.

      Christopher Mata It sounds great on emulators, but listen to it in real hardware and you'll usually hear flatly composed, weak, muffled audio. The Genesis is pretty much the opposite. It sounds really good on real hardware from a Model 1. Emulators usually sound worse and could sometimes cause emulation errors with some instruments.

      Yep, don’t get me wrong, I definitely appreciate the Genesis, I’m just not a fan of the Yamaha chip. I have the same dislike for the AdLib / Sound Blaster OPL on PC from around that same time. I can’t really put my finger on it, it just sounds... off... to me. I was happy when *everyone* moved on to better sound hardware. Not just Sega.

    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!

      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.

      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.

      Japan loves lots of character information. That's a good way to pad it.
