Old school skill shown right there. If you've spent many hours playing this game you really appreciate this magical player. His timing is incredible when there is so little room for manouver.
Idk if this is an actual human playing this......also if you look at the monsters at the end of each respective level in this game they aren’t moving as much as in the real game. That first end level monster for example is just going up and down and no swooping movements on top of the knight.. I have a retro gaming system without joystick and I can’t even pass that first demon because of the side to side and up and down movement of the monster. Almost impossible without a real joystick also.
Yo tenía una espina clavada en mi juventud. Y a mis 48 años he conseguido pasarme este juego con un solo crédito. Después de 4 meses jugando casi todos los días tres o cuatro partidas. Los demonios finales no tienen nada que ver con éstos, los movimientos son mucho más rápidos y 1 segundo en pantalla van a por tí y no te da tiempo a esquivarlos. En este juego los enemigos finales van más lentos que en el que yo tengo no sé porqué será. De todas maneras muy bien jugado.
yes they were. i finished it when i was a teenager in the 80s but when it started from the beginning ,i left the arcade's hall before i burn the machine.
What I find strange is the end boss is alot easier than the 2x dragons in the immediate stage before. I've got to the 2x dragons & that's it. The best I've done is killed one dragon but that is with the dagger. You can only get past the 2x dragons if you kill them with the shield/cross, which has limited range (but destroys their star bullets)
It's a staple of the series. You always have to go back to the beginning in order to collect the holy weapon. And If you change it just before the final boss you won't be admitted to the battle and will have to go back again...
This game was a work of art for it's time. The graphics were beautiful, the way the coins etc change colours to show metalicity. The gameplay was challenging and complex and the musical score was simply wonderful.
My parents probably could have sent me to college with all the quarters I spent playing this game. Absolutely magical though. Could almost smell the round table pizza where this arcade game was located while watching this game play. You know a game is good when you can instantly remember all the levels and game play after 30yrs!

This guy is my hero! It's simply not possible and yet here it is, totally ruling what is surely the most difficult commonly known platformer of all time. No way in hell would game designers get away with such a ballbreaker these days.
you are not a human. i was looking for tips but there are no tips in this game. only a player with pure skills can beat this game. i truly respect you sir.
The little game opening music that starts around 00:18 truly is a masterpiece. Play it with the sound at a comfortable level and really pay attention to its complexity.
My god this was the hardest game ever made. The end boss is so easy though! It's almost like the devs said, Hey, you made it through everything we threw at ya, so we'll make the last boss easy for ya so you can see the ending......as long as you can do it all again one more time :)
I haven't seen this game played better - and I've been around a long time. I remember this bitch of a game in the arcades. Complete mastery of enemy movement, collision boxes and the timing on that rapid fire in tight spaces is astounding. Bravo.
back in the late 80s my near on whole school in australia would be waiting out side the local fish and chip shop waiting to play ghost and goblins, loved it.... still have it on my ps4 and play it evey now and then.
Way to go! My brother and me never made it to the final boss, probably cuz, of course accidentally getting fireballs. We both loved the knives since so fast. Also we sneaked up. My brother has gone and passed. Was still awesome to see. Thank you❤
Imagine a 14 year old me, at the movie theater, after sore thumbs and frustrating nights playing the NES version to discover....... THE ARCADE VERSION EXISTED!!! I yelled, gritted my teeth, not because I was happy to see it. No.... I was enraged at how hard the NES version was. I yelled AS LOUD AS I COULD every time I shot an enemy. The theater staff thought someone got robbed. I growled, I yelled, I shouted out of pure, unadulterated frustration and RAGE because this game was so hard in 1987. Good job man. Good job.
YES! I remember being so pissed when it made you start all the way from the beginning again. Lol, such a good memory thanks for the run down memory lane!
Caramba!! Voltei há 35 anos atrás... Na minha cidade, Almenara, MG, Brasil, tinha um "Fliperama" do meu amigo Lôro. Na época eu tinha uns 06 a 07 anos, não conseguia jogar esse jogo, mas ficava horas assistindo o pessoal mais velho jogar.
I remember in the 90s there were some arcade machines in front of my school with this wonderful game I was watching others as they passed the game simply wonderful
My public school had a Commodore 64 in the late 80s. I would stay after class and play this for hours using the keyboard as a controller. Once my mom came to the school looking for me as she was worried I never made it home and it was getting late.
Learnt a lot about this game ! A weapon that is effectless and forces you to get back and on top of that, being obliged to play it twice in row in order to really beat the machine !!! Unbelievable ! Thanks a lot !
Inhuman skills demonstrated here, horraahh!! 🤯👍 This game was ridiculously tough... no doubt one of the most difficult arcade games at the time: those bleeding erratic red gargoyles always messed it up, but then the early bosses become regular enemies on the later maps - ouch - and the ultimate kicker is having to beat the game twice - double ouch!! Spent countless hours with this game in the arcade and remember having beaten it exactly once (took hours, not half an hour), whether it was the arcade or one of the ported versions. The Knight must be valiant indeed, two small errors and you're done. The helmet off and arms in the air after each level is most warranted. Great atmosphere, fantasy retrogame at its highest - keep up the real gaming, Master Pro! 🐸🙋♂
This was one of my favorite games at the arcade. I was okay at it, but never quite finished. I picked up the recent modern remake of this game. It looked amazing, but was ridiculously difficult. Easily the hardest game I ever played. Even on the easiest setting I sucked. It amazes me that there are people out there who finished it.
uno de los mejores juegos de epoca noventera ....la verdad que yo lo pondria en el podio...no por su grafica , no por su jugabilidad...si no por ser uno de los juegos mas dificiles que he jugado .....porque a pesar de ser un juego clasico , lo que diferencia a este juego de los demas ..es que este simplemente no tenia un patron repetitivo ...por lo cual no se podia saber en donde ,cuando ,ni como te aparecerian los enemigos y eso lo volvia un juego realmente desesperante ....lo super recomiendo ...! si queres divertirte y enfurecer una y otra vez con un juego clasico ..este realmente es el juego que estas buscando !
I remember the kids from around my old way in The Bronx playing this game. Although this was my favorite to watch, I never got to play it. The other games: Hang On, Pole Position and Ms. Pac-Man and Pacmania, I got to experience them. Out run and the pedes became my favorites
Would have played this as an 11 year old while on holiday, but haven't given it a second thought in the intervening 40 years. Then I saw the thumbnail and was taken back immediately.
The games of the past were more difficult, first of all because they were designed for arcades (coin up) and so the goal was to get you to spend as much money as possible. How much money I spent between 1979 and 1983. With 5000 lira I used to make a hundred games. 🙂
The way this video makes it seem so easy, it's both infuriating and astonishing at the same time. It's truly incredible to see that Ghost 'n Goblins can be played like this. You can believe the words of a fifty-year-old: many many years ago I put many many coins in and never finished the game completely. By the way, thanks for finally showing me what happens in the end, I've been waiting to know for 36 years 👍
I did defeat the final bosses first time round but when they said do it with shields i thought that was me having completed it and the reward is to keep playing. Never even know that the ending was different when you do it with the shields.
Those opening notes from the start of each round engrained in memory from having to start over so many times in the arcade lol so many quarters spent 😂
I played this game in the arcade in the 80's it was brutal so so hard what I just watched there made my jaw drop!😵😲 Hats off to that person that was awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏅🏆
I distinctly remember making it to Level 5, the first floor of Satan’s castle on one quarter in the arcade. I must’ve been 10 years old. A group of older kids who frequented that 7-11 came in while I was playing and asked how I managed to get “that far”. It was all me, but they refused to believe me, thinking I had continued from a previous player. Damnit…lol.
Even with the rewind feature on steam, i could only make it to the two flying bats just before the last boss (on the first run)... you must be a wizard or youve been playing this every day since 1988? I mean this game is beyond hard w/time limits
🎼🎵🎶"He's a pinball wizard/There has to be a twist..."🎵🎶 Yeah, thanks to save states on emulators I could make it to the third stage, but got stuck at the last red devil. One of the damnedest enemies ever programmed!
I beat this game once back in the 1980s. Put a lot of 10pence pieces into the arcades to get good enough. It is a hard game though, so respect. I liked the hidden stuff like the fact that shooting gravestones ( or specific ones) would yield cool extra items/weapons.
The laundromat we used to go to had this and Arkanoid back around 1989-90. I used to play it alot. I miss the days when these machines were everywhere.
20c Arcade standup machine .Back in the days. I never made it past level 4. Miss the Arcades. Nice one dude. Considering, new technology , there are things on computer cellphone tablet, there are cheats that will run rings around the arcade. Cool tho.

This is a computerised step analysis gameplay.

I played a lot and couldn't get past the 2:17 part..
Unbelievable! I never knew the game designers were so brutal to make you repeat the whole game over to reach the ending. It’s hard enough as it is!!!!
Thank God subsequent games in the franchise, even while keeping the difficulty, added new stuff to the mix like extra armor, the double jump and more.
yes they were. i finished it when i was a teenager in the 80s but when it started from the beginning ,i left the arcade's hall before i burn the machine.

Astoundingly good gameplay in one of the most difficult arcade games of them all. Well done my friend, very well played.
Couldn't pass even first level in my childhood 😂
Very difficult game for kids tho.
I could make it to the 2nd level on rare occasions. I fell in the water a lot.
I enjoy watching this game more than playing 😂. It's cool to play but watching seems more fun
Same. This game was so hard. Then I played Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
I used to hate it when you finally get the dagger and then you kill an enemy and you accidentally get the fire.
it was good for me as a kid. Dark souls for the OG gamers

One of the greatest games off all time, the scenario was amazing
And me, it is my favourite vidéo game of all times.
He’s I distinctly remember it in arcades in 86 or so......best graphics at that time.

I've played other games such as Tombi, Commando, Bionic Commando, Pirate Ship Higemaru and Ghosts 'N Goblins Resurrection.

I never got out of the graveyard but I’ve always loved anything scary, so I hassled my friend down the street to play it.
Wow. Much talent and a little luck sprinkled throughout for one of the most difficult games of all time. Well done.

Reminds me of my childhood, what a game and sounds this was.👌
This was one of the hardest games in existence at the time! I remember throwing multiple controllers across the room 🤣
I remember I was about to beat Ghouls and Ghosts for Genesis and I hit the reset button by accident……..that was also very difficult.

I got to the “end” one night in college while drunk.
I was SO MAD when I had to replay it.
This is AWESOME. I never got passed the 2nd level.
Very well played!
