SGFX Ghouls and Ghosts: Anyone Beat it?
« Reply #60 on: September 26, 2005, 01:44:20 PM »
Haha, I couldn't resist. I am replaying my Super GnG for SNES lately. I forgot how cheap this game can get. I also forgot on how to make the right jumps for certain parts of the game. The one that got me the worst was the fire stage when the stone pedastels rise from the lava (The third stone arghhhh). I died too much later at the ice stage and turned it off. I will give it another run today hehe.

This is good practice for the other versions I never took time to beat. This also reminds me of how Castelvania 1 the arcade/MSX game is damned impossible in a similar way.

There's a part where tons of big gray stone bricks fly at you, horizontally, left to right. I have yet to figure out a way to pass this without losing tons of life. It's been a few years, I can't even remember if I ever passed it. And this is not too far in the game!

Ahhhh shit, I hate that part. The simple fact that you just get lucky on avoiding them in order to make it through kills me. What the hell was Konami thinking? Its like trying to avoid a train but you can't get off the rails. I mean damn.

I don't know what part you guys are talking about since I haven't played the game much, but I really like that comparison you made, really well put.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
