You'll have to be more specific, here: Ghosts n' Goblins, Ghouls n' Ghosts? I've one-lifed Ghouls n' Ghosts, but not the original.

I honestly would like to see video of you blazing through Rastan, even if it wasn't a one-life game. That particular game just kills me with reckless abandon, and while I always liked a challenge, after credit-feeding some latter-stage bosses (especially the bosses...but I'd die plenty in the stages, too) and *still* not being able to kill them, or to even figure out a decent strategy for them, I basically gave up on the game.

I'm familiar with the Golden Ram's heads, but didn't know about the ring. Still, most of the game was just very difficult to deal with, and I'd love to see the game played front to back.

First off, I meant Ghosts 'n' Goblins. I suck at Ghouls 'n' Ghosts. Maybe I will get better at it some day, maybe not. You can see my Ghosts 'n' Goblins superplay on Youtube under doctorx0079. Davil from Team Arcade Extreme has made a better one though.

Maybe I should make a superplay of Rastan just for the hell of it! I always figured nobody made one because no one cared. No offense, but it's almost like making a superplay of Bad Dudes or Shinobi.

EDIT: I forgot my superplay is also on super-play.co.uk . In case you prefer to download it. That version probably looks better.

But, Makai-Mura is the Japan ROM.
