Ghosts 'n Goblins was released in 1985 to much acclaim as it was one of the most advanced arcade games ever made. The amount of content on offer made it stand out from more traditional titles and this made people want to play it more as they explored the world Capcom had made. It is also one of the most difficult games ever made and this is demonstrated in this episode of Games of Praise.
