I like the AMSTRAD music...

To me, the Commodore 64 versjon will always be a classic. With it's unique scary music, and with the scream that red devil seems to make when you cross it's path. I don't think the graphics are too bad compared to the NES versjon either...

"get the knife. get the knife. GET THE KNIFE!"

The Gameboy Color version is a hidden gem, and also one of it's best versions, they lowered the dificulty a bit, and while still hard, it's not as brutal as the NES version. They also added passwords which is amazing

Ghosts'n Goblins is an instant classic. And there so many great versions. I'll try out the GBC and the Amstrad version. Besides C64, NES and Arcade the Amiga version is really outstanding.

I was amused no end by the PSP version. It just sums up modern games compared to 20 years ago! The PSP version feels the need to tell an epic story about the struggle between demons and knights, while the original just gives you "girl kidnapped by devil. SAVE HER!!"

The Amiga version appears to the best remake in several games you demo. I still own mine and it still boots. :)

The Amiga rocked back in the day, every game port looked amazing.

Go home Dos version, you're drunk.

The music from the DOS version should have its own dance remix

thumbs up if you played original GnG on arcades back then.

ultimate ghost and goblins its a different game!

The zombies hair animation in the St version is very nice (it gives them a sense of faster dynamic) and it misses even in the arcade counterpart. :-| The Amiga port is definitely one of the fewest arcade perfects or so of its entire library. :)

The music in the PSP version sounds like it's from a Tim Burton movie.

I have the C64 music of GNG carved in my mind. I played it A LOT back in the day!

Commodore 64 soundtrack was awesome :)

I always thought only the C64 version had different music, but the Amstrad version also has a unique composition. Interesting! Another interesting thing was to see that the DOS version is flick screen instead of a side scroller. I've always loved the flick screen style in games and watching GnG as a flick screen game was fascinating.

C64 Music FTW

C64 version always had my favorite music, Tim Follin made an amazing set of tracks for it.

C64 by far the best. Best music my far, and you can see more of the world, more than even the arcade version.

The ZX Spectrum version is the definitive version. The two color pallet, lack of music and sound effects that sound like the game is farting (as if it knows it's shit) will go down in history as the best version of the game ever. It blows the arcade version out of the water.

Commodore 64 is my favourite version. The music is amazing!

Man, this video spikes my post traumatic stress disorder brought on by home versions of games that shouldn't have existed. :D

That was one of the prettiest (and the toughest games) of the 80s! I remember seeing it on its arcade version but I was too young and they wouldn't let me play. So my first gameplay was on my Amstrad CPC 464! Great game!

The music from the the Amstrad version sounded like it invented dubstep

It sucks when you accidentally pick up the damn torch weapon!

I kind of dug the music in the Amstrad version.

I must say, the Amiga version does the game of Ghosts 'N Goblins justice.

I had the Commodore 64 version as a kid. What memories.......all of them frustrating!!

The music of the c 64 is really adjusted to the game

Amiga Best of Home computer Versions also C64 got great theme and is pretty good as well

Okay, the Game Boy Color version actually looks pretty damn good.

I was about to yell WTF, that's not C64 graphics!! Then realized it was C16. Great vid bud.

Uno de mis juegos favoritos

WOOOW!!!! The PSP Version is really nice! Ive never seen this Game in that graphix

Commodore 64’s music for this game kicks ass!

that Amstrad music is crunchy and moreish!

Some pieces are nothing alike the arcade version and that's awesome. Good game choice for comparison

My favorite as a kid was the Amstrad version (6128) but for some reason this one here looks and sounds a bit different. The ST version feels like it is running on a faster machine.. I don't remember ever being that fast. The PS2 version looks fantastic. Great video.

Best overall remake: Nintendo Best remake of the main theme: Amiga Best original theme: Tie between Amstrad and Commodore 64 Best overall game: Ultimate Ghosts n' Goblins Worst remake: Commodore 16 Worst remake of the main theme: DOS

Love the music on the c64, I think it is the best.

One of my favourite games, though as nails. Played the C64 and NES versions the most but it is cool to see it got a ton of ports on other systems too.

That arthur in the Ultimate Ghouls N Ghosts! LOOKS SO FRIKING EASY!

Holy crap my C64 version. The longer you stayed alive you were rewarded with those funky beats. Compared to some of the other versions, made me laugh at the chicken legs.

1985?!?! This game was way ahead of it's time. Also, the DOS sound makes me want to shove ice picks in my ears.🥴

Bellissimo video!!! La versione per commodore plus4 è un vero cessò!!

The arcade code and graphics were dumped, and used in the amiga port, that's why the game is so faithfull to the capcom board.

The PSP version is really a huge love letter to the franchise. It is outstanding! I have it for my PS Vita and love it! I actually think the NES version, although not as graphically impressive as the arcade, it plays better than the arcade. Great video!

Ich habe gerne und oft "Ghosts 'n Goblins" gespielt. Durch dieses Video sieht man erst mal denn großen unterschied zwischen den verschiedenen Versionen was es so gibt. Vom Sound und auch von der Grafik her, ist die vom C64 ganz klar das beste. Die Version von der PS2 kannte ich bisher noch nicht, aber ich muß sagen daß die auch sehr gut ist. Am schlechtesten ist die von dem C16, aber der C16 hat ja auch nur 16kbyte. Ansonsten ein gutes Video :)

Thank you, finally!

The C16/Plus-4 version doesn't even have _sprite transparency_?! Amiga is the best port of the arcade game.

I remember seeing the Amiga version when I was 12. I thought it was an amazing conversion and worth the 1mb upgrade!

C64 version rocked! Great music and graphics

Love the C64 version

Prior to watching this vid, the best of these was SUPER Ghouls n Ghosts (SNES). But after seeing the PSP version, I think Super Ghouls n Ghosts would have to step aside a little, no wait, make that a LOT!

i used to have a pirated version for the commodore 64. Only after 5-10 minutes of not loading did you know if it had crashed...usually took 15 minutes or so to load in that respect. Thanks for the memories...love that C64 theme.

Really like the colour of the msdos version. The C64 version though, the music is iconic! No music in any version has ever come close.

1-Get the god damn knife 2-Evolution is a beauty don't?

The music on the Amstrad port is freakin awesomeness in my opinion.

Love it. Takes me back.

At least the PSP respects the original, not like Altered Beast for PS2.

Los mejores son para mi, la version Sharp X68000 (mucha calidad), Commodore Amiga, la musica de la version Commodore 64 y la version Ultimate del PSP,

This game was made shortly before Super Mario Bros. 1 came out, and is one of the last platformers ever created that predate SMB1.

Why did you use a ZX Spectrum emulator with no sound? I'm guessing it's because this game barely had any sound to begin with, right?

Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins is probably the greatest side-scrolling game ever made! Wish that can be released as part of a retro game pack for the PS4.

Who could have possibly thought that making a PC speaker version of the music was a good idea? Also, is it me or is the C16 version deliberately bad?

The C64 version has always been my favorite. Does anybody know why the music in that version was different from the rest? IMO it's definitely the best soundtrack to this game and it's the primary reason I can't stand playing any other version. The first time I saw GnG on a system other than the C64 I was disappointed because I was expecting to hear the cool soundtrack I was so used to.

Nice video as usual. DOS version is horrendous and why is the boss on the Atari ST facing the other way; how rude!

The high scores of the Amstrad LOL

I believe the Capcom Arcade Cabinet you mentioned in on the X-Box 360 as well, not just the PS3. You might want to add that in sometime.

play mostly all PSP is ultimate play love it.

8:45 the high score leaderboard is funny

5:42 action 52 Manchester jump sound?

C64, Wow what great music indeed.

I like that amstrad remix

The Amiga Version is faithful down to the secret bonuses, armor placement and even glitches! (the zombie corridor in Level 3, in example)

bellissimo per Amiga

i like these comparisons but i sure wish that you would do one on a whole game considering how long some of these games are this is entirely possible

The amiga version really impressed me, i was expecting some shitty ass version with shitty music, but the music and graphics are pretty good, almost as good as the original arcade

missing the GBA version. It's called Makaimura though. Only released in Japan.

Hey man, great video as it always has been! I have come here to say that the intro song seems to no longer be on 4shared, after all this years, do you happen to have another link to the song?

the original arcade version will always be king, console version in comparison will always make me laugh poor excuse

Ghouls n' Ghosts is the sequel to Ghosts and Goblins, it was also an arcade game, and AFAIK the first version of it on home consoles was Genesis. Super Ghouls n' Ghosts has separate levels than the arcade/genesis and has MASS use of Mode 7. I think the SNES version is better than the arcade.

c64 music ♥

Looks like the 16-bits got fairly decent conversions, but personally I always liked the Speccy version, some great sprite re-working. In fact, it was the first game I ever bought with my own money :D

Not sure the PSP one should be included in this. Even though its called Ghosts and Goblins it looks more similar to Ghouls and Ghosts.

The Amstrad version sounds like a fucking awesome remix, the GBC version is WAY too focused closely on Arthur...

I really liked the Atari st graphics they seem to have given it a unique perspective of the arcade game making it look like it but also very different. music wise the Gameboy version really surprised me in a positive way. the ps2 version was an absolute joy to watch but felt a bit slow.

The PSP version should be available at PSN/Xbox Live, as the GBA version of Super Ghouls'n Ghosts. Both are very good versions and are restrict to very few players.

That PSP version looks awesome!

I didn't even know there was a Gameboy Color version of this game.

the gameboy color version is just the nes version ported to the gbc but with a small screen

I'm getting deja vu...

I remember when i had it on Amstrad 464....

Spectrum's water effects on stage 2 are pretty neat.

I want the psp one... I didn't even know it existed.

there is some rule to finish up this game: 1º - Get the knife 2º - Get the knife 3º - Get the knife 4º - Get the knife AVGN words ;)

The MS-DOS version looks like it has flying turkeys for monsters. The Amstrad scrolling just ruins games like this. The C64 version is one of my first loves, from the title screen to the dragon at the end. I was impressed to see the extra levels in the Atari ST and Amiga versions, and much improved graphics, when I first saw them as a kid. The PSP game is quite amazing, as is the Super Nintendo game, though tough as hell to complete.

LOL. Going direct from the arcade original to the C16 port. ARGH MY EYES ! :D

ROFL the MS DOS version, amazing OST rendition!
