Megaman Vs. Ghosts and Goblins Megaman's trapped in the fiendishly difficult world of Ghosts and Goblins in this fan made flash game. The game's instructions don't mention that once the game is loaded, you need to click on START, then tap enter a few times to get things rolling.

Awesome! That game is easily as good as the real thing.

Fun! I didn't have any need to hit enter to get started, though, unless that's just what you have to do to skip over the introductory material.

This game is a lot easier when you can take more than two hits.

My fingers don't work right for this. I need my old NES control pad.

Wow - neat port, but man Ghost 'n Goblins was hard.

Dear Capcom:

See this fan-made copyright-infinging game? Please make it for real.

Your Fan,

After 10 or so attemps I can get to the 5th screen. I think the game is just as hard as the original G&G.

this is actually quite old, but still good.

This is pretty damn cool. Thanks, boo_radley.

Really well-done. Many flash games suffer from unresponsive controls, but this one is just as good as a dedicated-hardware 8-bit console. Truly the Best of the Web.

Has anyone beat it?

The boss is tricky, but good game!

breath Just did a few minutes ago. The boss is hard, the ladders are the key!

I beat it... it's not very long. The final boss's AI is terrible.

The boss was pretty easy for me, much easier than the sub-boss, because for some reason he kept firing in the wrong direction, meaning I could get behind him and just wail on him.

You've just diminished the accomplishment in the eyes of the members, painquale

So, playing through and beating the boss, then hitting Restart and starting again lets you play through with the A. Lance. It looks like there's space for two more subweapons on the menu, though - do you get more if you beat him again?

Answer: Looks like no, you don't, unless there's a trick I missed. Ah, well.

Ah, yes. Now I remember why Megaman frustrates me.
posted by graventy at 1:09 PM on March 10, 2006


Ah.... the game was easy, boss was hard until I figured out that Arthur is unable to fire from the ladder. That was awesome. Hit detection on me was a little shady but basically that was excellent.

the best part of this by far is the ghosts n goblins music remixed a la megaman music. hottest shit ever.

Yay! Best five minutes in ages.

Orignal G&G was really really hard because it was primarily a quarter munching arcade game. New G&G for PSP is supposed to be much easier.
