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)
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!
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.
@@javierperez-hi8ssrush n attack is kinda good on Nes, extremely popular Konami title in my country. Also for Jackal and Life Force, but Life Force is way too harx
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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.
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❤
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 !
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
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.
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! 🐸🙋♂
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.
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
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 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏅🏆
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’ve just 1CC’d this game for the first time ever after years of gameplay. I scored 889,900 (using various point building areas not used here), but I still don’t play the game half as well as this was. And I still require a little bit of luck to get past the Satans! I’m getting there but can’t quite figure out their patterns
😮 at the 9:49 mark, I was like " whoa, look at all you had been through" knowing you have like 20 more minutes of this madness to conquer..... unbelievable gameplay.
I remember the first time I got to the point where the game basically said, "You cannot pass without getting the shield" and I about lost it when I had to redo it.
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.
To this day I have only witnessed this game being beat on an emulator. Never did I see anybody get passed two levels on the arcade cabinet with joystick. Greatest quarter hog of all time.
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!
Such a great game. I’ve been able to finish it but it was never easy using the shield that late in the game. This gameplay missed turning yourself into a frog early on. A couple of other tricks or Easter Eggs were missed too. Still one of the greatest games ever
i can feel the stress and excitement from back then just watching it. i never made it through the first level, if i even saw the final boss there. unfortunately the music here isn't as cool as on the c64. i hate it. and i love it, for the music alone. this playthrough is unbelievable. what can people be capable of?
I finally beat this damn game on both loops - I eventually got a pretty good feel for how to deal with the Satan bosses, and it pretty much involved jumping a lot, so that they did their stupid swoop attack a bit above Arthur, and then juggling them back and forth like that, and maybe climbing down the ladder at some point if they got down too low.

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.
lol yes like a bad joke

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

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.

I love this game. I love Tokuro Fujiwara games.
The dude is a legend.
I've played other games such as Tombi, Commando, Bionic Commando, Pirate Ship Higemaru and Ghosts 'N Goblins Resurrection.
Reminds me of my childhood, what a game and sounds this was.👌
The best I've ever seen and I've been playing this game for 35 years.
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.
bro you a god dam legend. Salute brother. Show me the ways of the jedi
Other than the one hit at the end right before the final boss, this was a perfect game
Non è possibile!!!
Così mi fate emozionare!!!
Da bambino ho passato ore e ore al bar a giocare a questo gioco !!!!
Che ricordi
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.

My condolences on your loss, cherrish those wonderful memories.
Best intro theme EVER!!!! I pumps you up. @0:16
Astonishingly brilliant gameplay, I played this game all the time in the arcade and got nowhere, bravo!
This game kept me up many nights, still never conquered it, This is a challenge ,👻💀☠🖤🖤🖤
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 !

Those red bastard gargolye are unpredictable little buggers at times
Happy to finally see the ending. Hated that second tower and the bloody shield
I seem to recall always going with the throwing knife over the javelin because of speed, but, javelin appears to have more damage. Good run

Hell of a game! If i think of all platinums I got in the souls serie and in ghost and goblins I couldn't pass even the third stage.. Lol
Love his game I always played the arcade and Nes version is too. It's Better that the commodore versions. Bring back childhood memories love it.
It’s a shame Capcom let Micronics do the NES port. If Capcom would have done it themselves, the nes port would have been a lot better
@@Mansini77hear you my friend.
This games was so hard as a kid. It took so much money from me at the time.
Anyone else remember of you shot the tombstones enough times you’d get turned into a frog? Good memories! ❤
Excellent work under the pressure of this brutal game. This was a treat to watch! Thank you!!!
アストロボット内で見つけて、とても懐かしかったのでこちらへたどり着きました！

I had a Ghosts n Goblins arcade machine in the early 90s.
I sold it for a hundred bucks. :'(
That buyer definitely got his money’s worth.

Quante domeniche ho passato a giocare coi miei amici!!
incredible play, one of the best GNG players I've ever seen.
I loved this game, but it was just too damn difficult. Only rare super experts were able to get to the end.
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 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏅🏆
one of best game of ever!
Watching you play this is truly humbling. Almost makes me angry how well you’re doing😂😂 Awesome skills
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 couldn't get past level 1 when I was a kid. This is pretty amazing.
What did I just watch? My friend, you are an absolutely phuqin BOSS!!!!
Of all the 1980s video games that put you through scream-inducing bullshit and "screw yous", this one really takes the taco.

So many quarters spent trying to make it past the first level.
Congratulazioni, senza vite perse💪
I barely got to lvl 3 as a kid in the 80s on NES
I got to the “end” one night in college while drunk.
I was SO MAD when I had to replay it.
Fantastic
17:20 You have to beat the game twice? .... 😤 You have to beat the game twice? ...
Hehe. Classic episode by the Nerd.

Man you were killing it! Great video thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤forever 80's
I still remember the Xmas me and my brothers got this game, I was in the 5th grade!!
Thank you sooo much for this content I miss this game
I remember the first time I got to the point where the game basically said, "You cannot pass without getting the shield" and I about lost it when I had to redo it.

Insane. This game is sooo frickin difficult
It reminds me how were alone that whole time....from years awaited through on out orders♥️
I should've known that this is the 2nd 'Ghouls and Ghosts' video game; I just didn't watch out for the sequel. It definitely flew under the radar.
nope ghosts n goblins was the original 1985, Ghouls and Ghosts was 1988.... ; )
DEMAIS irado muitas fichas kkk jogo da minha infância muitas fases
Esto era adrenalina pura estar parado en la maquina y esa música por dios
this used to be the loudest game in every arcade.
Growing up everyone loved this game but it was so ridiculously hard it was wrong to do that made us so aggravated
Che ricordi...ricordi d'infanzia...troppo bello...
I finally beat this damn game on both loops - I eventually got a pretty good feel for how to deal with the Satan bosses, and it pretty much involved jumping a lot, so that they did their stupid swoop attack a bit above Arthur, and then juggling them back and forth like that, and maybe climbing down the ladder at some point if they got down too low.
Never made it to the last round. You definitely have the skills 👍👍
Maaannn, good reflxes (and memory 😉) !!!!
I remember this game been removed so quickly from the small arcades back then cause it was so hard and noone would spend much on it lol.
