*walks into stationary enemy 10x in a row* "Why is this game so hard?!"
I read an interview with this game's creator years ago. It was interesting. The guy who was in charge of this game admits it had serious problems, like the play control. He said he assumed that jumping and not changing direction in midair made it more "realistic", and therefore better. However, he later realized it only made the game less fun.
Strange how that idea works for the original Castlevania games but almost no other games.
Fistwagon
I think part of what made it work - a huge part of it really - is that Castlevania's gameplay was built around its play control and mechanics. This game clearly wasn't.
Haha, someone should have told him that ducking and running are consistent with the laws of physics. Nothing unrealistic there.
Daytime Sky That makes a lot of sense.

The website that interviewed the creator is some monster-oriented website run by like a single person. So it was basically a monster fan interviewing the creator of a monster game.
This would be perfect for a AVGN Halloween episode
Indeed, this would make for a fine Halloween episode. Gameplay wise, we're talking Action 52 standards of quality here.
Not enough material.
pytko3 Well yeah, but it's a review, not an LP. You can only milk walking through a room and hitting monsters so much.
I actually asked him a couple years ago if he'd ever review it. He told me he's only played it once, but he'd think about it.
Yeah, perfect game for an AVGN episode
I finished this a couple of years back and didn't think it was that terrible. It starts out extremely difficult, but once you find more items it becomes a cakewalk. There is a backstory to the game. Spike (full name Spike O'Hara) found a glowing skull in the cemetery and brought it to one of his teachers. The skull began to grow and started to summon monsters that took over the school (Cool School High. GET IT?!). Spike decides to stop them once they kidnap the head cheerleader, Samantha Pompom. I enjoyed it because it reminded me of all the cheesy 80's and 90's horror movies I grew up with.
I know it's already been said but damn, this would've made a really awesome Nerd episode I think.
Booty has become my fave on Cinemassacre.
my favorite ever since he stole the show on the Board James series.
I also love Booty
Ameto lol i seen the typo or auto-correct, i figured I would leave it for luls.
he's cool and laid back, not the look at me type of guy, great dude
Jesse Jennings Booty LUL nice
You touch the medusa head you die, you touch the corpse you die... you die, you die, you die!
the thing is, they never get the point that touching the enemy directly does more damage than the projectiles ( e.g. the weights)
So, just the weights?
Is it from Silver Surfer AVGN?
Need the gamma gun
I love this game, I got it as a little kid and played the crap out of it. I still play from time to time. I don't think it's that bad at all, except for the hall of Frankensteins later in the game. Great game!
Are you talking about the hall with the clock chime music? Actually, if you haven't figured it out yet, you can destroy the clock in the principle's office with the bat, and that removes the music in the principle's office and the hall, and which removes them.
I really enjoy watching the chemistry between you two. This is equally as enjoyable to watch as James and Mike Mondays to me.
This would be a great AVGN episode
I like how the character walks around like there isnt a bunch of freaks trying to kill him
Talking about how this game seems to have a lot in common with "Bart versus the Space Mutants," it seems your perceptions are spot on as both "Ghoul School" and "Bart versus the Space Mutants" were developed by Imagineering.
3:14 I like how his feet are actually on each stair though. You don't see that in every game.
YES, there is a point to having you walk through the whole classroom to get the stuff. This game was going for SOME level of realism with the design. They wanted it to feel SOMEWHAT like a real school.
It's actually not a bad Metroid/Zelda 2 clone for the NES. It's just confusing as hell if you don't know what you're doing.
My 10 years old self really liked this game. I think there's shoes that let you walk on the ceilling at some point.
Supposedly this is a early Metroidvania style game
This game has some weird, stinted controls, but it's actually a really unique and fun game, kinda like Star Tropics, once you get it, YOU GET IT
Even the developer thinks that the game sucks....
This game would fit perfectly for AVGN
Big pile of skulls and bones at 1:18 = no reaction.
1 corpse at 12:08 "thats a little far". :P
Thank you, guys! Now I have +1 cool 8-bit tune in my collection (Ghoul School - Hall Theme) :)
A trick you can use with the spring shoes is to go into a locker and put them on, you'll get stuck in the wall, but you're able to move and attack and the enemies can't hurt you.
The only "Ghoul School" I remember is the Scooby Doo one, good old days T-T
the eyeball enemy reminds me of the enemies from Faxanadu
Am I the only one who thought of Scooby-Doo And The Ghoul School?
Mike is killing it lately
+HeilEvalionMeinFührer, dirty girl.
Mike is a pimp
I remember being a kid playing this and it was amazing
Ghoul School and Bart vs the Space Mutants were developed by the same company. That's why they look similar.
The controls are so bad that it belongs in Action 52.
Ouch lol
But... it's not a space shooter
music sounds kinda like it too
This looks like something out of that dreadful line-up shitty, half completed games!
That would be the best game on Action 52, if it was on there
ahhh this was such an awesome game. hard as hell from what i remember. Also the coolest character ever
i love this game , it's one of favorites on the system
sumo8675309 same
Oh god. I remember this game.
There's a dead body in this game. only one. Something about a melted face, and if you touch it, you die. It's supposed to be either in the Gym portion in this game or the kitchen, I don't remember. I also remember that there are "Hidden characters" that the manual teases you to find, like the monster made out of notes and a skeleton.
I also remember a interview with one of the guys that worked on this game, and the reason why it sucked was because they never gave this to a test group, and the outsource company that helped with the monsters just made eyeball monsters everywhere. This game was supposed to be way more diverse.
I love this game hard has hell to beat legit. But there's a glitch that allows you to go behind the walls. Once you get the spring shoes go into any locker (wearing the sneakers) then while still in the locker (hold up to stay in the locker) switch to spring shoes then let go of up. If done right you will be behind the wall. Now you can go almost anywhere in the game and are invincible. You can still kill monsters collect items and interact with the world. Just don't use the lockers again or it will undo the glitch.
no relation to that Scooby Doo movie?
I agree
Phantasma best girl
Winnie best waifu
This would have made a great AVGN episode
It looks like Zelda II.
A few months ago I discovered this game while going through my NES rom collection and I must say that it kept me busy for a while trying to figure it out what to do next.
I liked it.
This is actually one of my favorite nes games lol
To be honest I'm really curious what the rest of this game is like
Legalwave it's really good
It's funny, I really liked this game as a kid. Feel like it didn't get a fair shake.
I also like this game.
The problem isn't the game, it's the players, in this case.
It never fails, people play a shitty game, squeeze whatever enjoyment they can out of it, and claim its everyone elses problem that they don't have the same shitty taste. lmao
But ... it really isn't that bad. I love M&B but they do exaggerate the shit out of things more often than not when it comes to games that they're usually just bad at. Of course, this isn't true for every one of their videos, as some games they play that they say are shit ARE -- but it's a recurring theme with them. Which is fine, I don't really care, I've found games they like shitty and games they think are shit I like, I don't watch them for review purposes, I watch them for the entertainment value.
Anyway, needless ramble, but it's not too far of a stretch to say it's the player's fault.
This game was made by Imagineering, which was in fact the studio that made the NES Bart games.
I got this game for my birthday when I was a kid. Every once in a while my sister and I would try to beat it, but it was such a cryptic game of memorizing where to go that we never came close. Not even Nintendo Power could save us.
And now they know the pain I've went through, trying to beat this game....
Looked it up. Imagineering developed both this game and Bart Vs Space Mutants. They look so similar!
madusa path is near end of game. you gotta be patient with this game. this game is rpg level.
In an alternate reality some where this won game of the year.
I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes this game on here. As a kid, I found the concept of traversing a giant school pretty neat, and it remains one of my favorite games ever. Sure, the game doesn't really explain much, aside from the manual, and is hard at times, but so were a lot of other NES games at the time.
the soundtrack is pretty good tho
1:49 "I have a pen. I have an apple. Uh. Apple pen."
he is to ghoul for skool ...
i see myself out :D
Ghoul story, bro.
ghoul's out for summa *sing*
S'kool to pun. That one took me a double-take though because you typed "to" instead of "too".
Break the TV, and an apple falls out. "uhh okay"
I had this game as a kid, I couldn't get anywhere, NES games were so much harder than modern games
I popped this game on the other day on my arcade cabinet and The way they were around 4:20 was exactly how I was getting with it. I couldn’t even find a point in playing anymore after maybe 5 mins
Oh yes, absolutely. The game was made with the same engine as Bart VS Space Mutants. Without a doubt. You guys are right.
It really reminds me of Bart VS Space Mutants... the jump, the way he moves and walks, the jumping monsters... even the fonts used in the letters.
Finally! My favorite nes game.
I've never even heard of this game. Would have made for an early era AVGN episode.
O'doyle RULES!
yes they do lol
When ya going to get a HDMI-enabled/modded NES?
I got the AVS this week - Mike

jean luc picard
nice
did you get an extended condom for your shlong mike?
Yeah, the HD is nice, but my HDTV has 22ms delay on it. I play crt when it comes to retro gaming.
I like this game. Underrated IMO. like the actor eric roberts.
Hell yea! Best of the Best 2... so bad its good!
That and his over acting in Best of the best 1. "TOMMY NO...TOMMY NOOOO!....coach coach hes going to kill him"
pingi223 lol... Roberts over acting and the weird way he pronounces the dialogue.,. and let's not forget the late Chris Penn... he looked like a chicken McNugget wearing a Karate Gi.
Penn dances with that chick. Puts his hand in her ass crack!!!
+rush1er 😆
Best of the best 2 was the shit back in the day!
Can't say much about the sequels, though. All five hundred of them.
And for the record, Kickboxer w JCVD still holds up.
Can you guys play MediEvil for ps1 ?
Benny Hanna
I loved this game as a kid. Beat it multiple times once you figure out the map.
hey atleast the music is decent
>continue system
>I give the game credit for that
really lowering the bar there, mike
5:10 Nice Pops impression, Mike.
I want to any Cinemassacre guys play Faxanadu on the NES! I can never find anyone else who knows what that game is. It was so fun when I was growing up.
I had at least one copy of it when I was collecting video games, never played it much though...
1:40 i went and checked and yes this game was made by the same people who made bart vs the space mutants, they also did ghostbusters 2 for the nes.
There is a cutscene at the beginning of Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom on GBA that looks remarkably similar to the cutscene at 1:04 xD
The towel is soaked in holy water, that's why it's OP! 😂
This is one of my favorite NES games. There is a lot that you guys are missing.
like what?
You guys got it right, both this and Bart vs the world were made by Imagineering haha.
I´ve played this game a lot when I was young, but nostalgia doesn´t change the fact that it sucks.
I loved this game. Its hard but is fun
I know the Turbo-Controller is a banned substance at Cinemassacre but for the gun, you got to make an exception.
LOVE THESE SERIES
*Keeps walking into the enemy he can run past* "This game sucks" Guys this is a NES game it's made to be hard and not just walk into crap to get past it with invincible frames.
when mike got one shot by the medusa head though looooooool
I want to see James' reaction to Manhunt ps2.
Good call on the Bart vs the Space Mutants thing!
Bat on Bat Violence! !! :-D
I loved the hell out of this game as a child, and I still do; the controls are pretty shit, and the mazelike hallways are terrible, I'll admit. But the varied weapons and items, the kickass soundtrack, the cool enemies and different school rooms, Spike O'Hara himself (dumb name by hilarious), the creepy vibes; I could never hate this game, even if it's frustrating at times.
That's not a "dumb name." It's fitting.
I loved this game and a boy and his blob....ghoul school took me years to beat whereas ABAHB took maybe 3 months....I always had a few like this and Hylide......they were long term projects that i would pick away at....learning something new maybe once out of every 10 attempts to play the game.
You guys should try and contact members of the development team and ask them to come on the show and make them play their own games.
C'mon play monster party if you're gonna play an nes themed Halloween game.
Yes! Friggin' loved that game as a kid.. All those times spend humping the ground, scootin across the floor..
October has only begun, there's plenty of time.
Hell yea, that'd be an awesome game for Halloween! :D
yay they did Monster Party!!! and hump the ground!!
This is more of a puzzle game, and it's awesome.
This game would be improved if it was based on the mediocre Scooby movie! But not by much.
plauge daddy
you just want more lolis going around
Needs more werecatwolves
When did the Zaibatsu let you out of your (David) cage?
Aww Ghoul School was great! What do you consider a good Scooby movie? Scooby goes to Hollywood? Scooby and the Cyber Chase?
Huh...I gotta say this is quite the calm and kind of low-energy play video.
I just came from Team Four Star playing Raging Blast 2. To compare them to this...
Watching TFS is almost like taking cocaine - it's crazy, it's all over the place, it sends your heart-rate skyrocketing...
And then watching this is like the sweet time when you're coming down from the high, and you just wanna exhale and rest...
I do like the music in the hallway parts, it's pretty catchy
LovelyProductions pretty good for its time I guess. What's your favorite game soundtrack of all time? Mines tie between ocarina or time and fzero
devournzt Pretty tough but I'd say Valis 2 for the X68000, Castlevania 4 being a second
LovelyProductions damn thats awesome
This is the greatest games of all Tim.
Yay!
You guys should play 8-Eyes on NES. It's 2 player, one person controls the player, the other his hawk companion. You could even switch back and forth. Difficulty is high and it's a pretty cryptic game. But the music's good and it reminds me a little bit of castlevania.
My favorite feature was the 5 second loop of music repeating over and over.
this game is surprisingly enjoyable to watch
Surprised there isn't an AVGN episode on this game, it's perfect for it!
I never heard of a real school whose hallways are on the same numbering system as its classrooms.
I remade this game as a doom mod creatively called Ghoul School 3D, over on MikesToybox dot net.
that game was a total glitchfest
One of my favorite games!!!!!!!!
Reminder that the ending of this game is you getting friendzoned.
im a n64 guy i love conker bad fur day i like to see james review that game that game awsome
I still like this game, but maybe I just like the idea of wandering through a haunted high school full of weird enemeis more than the actual resulting game.
