Hey guys! This about wraps up my Ghosts N Goblins content for a while! Hope you enjoy this fond look back at the Sega Genesis entry to the series, Ghouls N Ghosts. Big thanks to Joe Redifer and Johnny Millennium for coming onto the show today. Ever played Ghouls N Ghosts? Tell me about it in the comments. Thanks y'all!

Thanks for having me! aways love your episodes!

Love hearing about the memories of this game with your dad, hun. Great video as always! 😘

This game seriously has some of the most responsive controls to-this-day and makes platforming so solid.

This and Street Fighter 2 are the first ever video games I've ever played, I was like 3 years old back then. So this game means a lot to me.

Oh yeah! Three of my favorite youtubers, and one of my favorite game series, all in one video? Yes, please! That genesis cover art is just SO metal... I love it. I have been really enjoying this GnG nostalgia trip lately. I fired up the nes version over the weekend and ... man that game is tough. I have to hunt down that Saturn version that your cousin played through.

My genesis came with a coupon to get a free game. It was a short list of Sega’s triple A release games. It was so hard to decide between this game and golden axe.

Wow! With Game Sack and Happy Console Gamer! That's some big names there, congrats Tyler! Great video as always!

Nice video! It's great to see you collaborate with two KZfaq retro gaming OGs. Johnny is such a great story teller that I could watch an hour video of him talking about watching grass grow and be enthralled.

remember playing this and golden axe as a 19 year old down the the pub everynight,iam now 54

Love the collaboration with 2 of the greats! I used to rent Super Ghouls & Ghosts. Never got very far but I definitely appreciated the tone and atmosphere of the game. Awesome video!

Would be nice to see both you and Johnny have a conversation about gaming on a special episode

Tyler - recently found your channel and I'm so glad I did. I think I've gone back to watch all the previous episodes of MRL and really appreciate the new content. As the father of a young daughter myself, I can relate and appreciate they way you are keeping your father/son love of the hobby alive with your family. Looking forward to the next video

I remember my friend's Dad buying him a Genesis (before the Mega Drive was released in the UK). And he had a couple of games, Ghouls & Ghosts being one of them. I remember we (and a couple of other friends) would stay over his on the weekend and stay up all night playing this and other games. Good times.

This game is amazingly hard. But it is a good Genesis game. The soundtrack is one of the best for any 16-Bit game ever in my opinion.

Really cool to hear your story behind the game. I love this game ever since I first rented and played it in the early 90s. SEGA MD is my favourite console and Ghouls 'n Ghosts is top tier material 😃👍

Ghouls n' Ghosts is my favorite of the series as well. This was one of the very first games I got with my Genesis back in 1989. Your dad had some very good taste my friend. I did not know Yuji Naka was involved with the port. That's likely the reason it's so good. One thing that does bother me however, why didn't he go for a bigger cart size. I truly believe he could have hit full arcade perfection or at least beat the SuperGrafix version had they pushed for two more megs.

Never played any of the Ghouls & Ghosts games before your channel. Started playing about 2 weeks ago and i've been hooked on it. Can't believe i never stumbled upon that game before. Anyways thanks Tyler.

Loved the surprise of having johnny on at the end i actually found your channel cuz I was looking for more content like his

My dad bought me ghouls and ghosts in 1990 for my 9th bday, it's still my favorite game on the genesis.

Always love to see happy console gamer in a video!

One of my favorite games. Great video 👌

Definitely the best game in the series, and a great conversion from the arcade to the trusty old MD. It was the game that made me sell my Amiga to buy a Megadrive back in 1989!

A little icecream parlor in Utica NY called Tasty Treat used to have Ghosts & Goblins and i always got a vanilla cone with cherry dip and played it whenever we went, never did pass the first stage lol.

Hey man loving this content. New subscriber. It brings me bk to my childhood perfectly. Sorry that your Pops isn't with u anymore but all this footage u guys have together and the memories u guys created are absolutely priceless. He seemed like a great guy. 👍

I played this game to death on the Mega Drive (I'm Australian), got to the point I could finish it with no continues easily and sometimes without losing a life. Absolutely loved it. Also, that full moon at the top of the ladder was worth the price of admission alone.

I'm a huge Genesis fan myself. I had it since 1997 and the first console I ever owned, yet I never played Ghouls & Ghosts or any game in that series before. Well, thanks a lot for spoiling it for me.

I picked my Genesis copy the year after it came out from a Garage sale- I couldnt believe they were selling such a new game. I spent the summer of 1990 playing it until I beat it. Still my favorite version. 🖖

Cool seeing Johnny Millennium on here

Great video. Many happy memories of this game on Genesis. You make very thoughtful and personal videos about your experiences growing up playing games. Thanks for these:)

Remember playing it at the Arcades back in 1988 and buying it with my Megadrive in 1989 along with Altered Beast, Revenge of Shinobi, and Super Hang On. Great memories :)

I l💛ve the sega genesis.streets of rage.truxton.rambo 3.ghouls and ghost for sega genesis.man i miss the 1990s.word up son

I remember that game and Strider on the Genesis. They were virtually identical to the arcade.

First time watching this video. I still have my copy of GnG on the Genesis from way back then, and I never even knew there was a invisibility code. Been playing all these decades without it.🤣

I bought Ghouls N Ghosts for the Sega Genesis for the main reason that it was such an excellent arcade port.

Thanks for making this video. I too grew up on the arcade and the genesis games. I hope u have a video for Ultimate on the PSP. That is probably my 2nd favorite one!

As soon as you said special guests I knew who it was going to be

That is awesome. I was already subscribed to the the 2 youtubers that guest appeared. Glad to know all you retro gamers talk to each other

This is by far my favorite game of all time Ghouls n Ghosts for Sega Genesis. Don’t get me wrong the SNES version is up there in my list. But wow what an amazing game the stages were incredible at The sound effects where also amazing. First time I played it I was 13yrs old back in 1989. Amazing game.

Just discovered your channel.... You've got a new lifelong subscriber. Dude, this is such a well-produced video! Loved hearing you, Johnny, and Joe talk about these games. I never did play these titles when I was a kid, but I've been playing them both recently on the SNES Mini and Sega Mini - they are excellent games! It will be a special day when I can finally beat them.

Ghouls n Ghost is amazing for the Sega Genesis it's the music and atmosphere that we love

It was the very first game I bought on my shiny new Genesis back in 1989. Many hours spent on that game. And lots of great memories.

*Ghouls & Ghosts Arcade* is on the Switch via the Capcom Arcade Stadium ...in case anyone was wondering.

I love this video, thank you so much for opening up like this.. I know your Dad would have loved the new game. Patience AND persistence is rewarded in GnG, not necessarily blazing through the "content" in speed runs.

I loved this video. You really show an intangible, sentimental side of games that's not easy to convey!

Never played the game myself. Watched people and I always thought it was a incredible game.

Great content. Your videos are absolute gems. I remember seeing this game at our local K-Mart, in Canada, and I knew from that moment on that the Sega Genesis was on another level. We couldn't afford it but a little later we were graced with a SNES. The first two games we bought with our own money were TMNT and Super Ghouls N Ghosts. Great times.

i played ghouls n ghost so much as a kid I love that game, I like super ghost n ghost also but ghouls n ghost or golden axe 2 so good

I've never played it. But its time I do. Super Ghouls n Ghost. For the SNES.... One of the hardest, almost impossible games I beat as a kid. Insanity. I hated to love it.

Ghouls 'N Ghosts is one of my childhood games i love this series

I love this game. I played the original in the arcade and later the Genesis port. While not perfect, it was very good and I have soft spot for it. It was great that they included it in the Genesis mini as well, as I think it is a must-play for the system.

Came from HappyConsoleGamers Tweet now im Subscibed Awesome Video

Just found your channel I'll have a look at some more of your videos it's the only version I have finished I have fond memories as well my late father got me the first one on the c64

Yooooooo! My boy Johnny !!

Surprise you didn't mention the spin offs Maximo and Gargoyle's Quest

I had the opposite experience. We rented Ghouls n Ghosts for the Genesis, and loved it, then never bothered with Super Ghouls n Ghosts because we thought it was the same game as the Genesis version. It wasn't until the late 90s when I emulated it that I learned that they were completely different games.

After playing Ghouls 'n ghosts in the arcade I instantly bought it for the Sega Master system when it came out, loved that version and to me it also looked great for this 8-bit system. Also impressed my friends who watched me playing this beating the game twice to get the final ending.

I have ghouls n' ghosts for the Sega Genesis I still enjoy it today

awesome video with epic collaborations. damn this game was hard but so fun

Tyler this was so special. Thank you as always ❤️

This game and Strider were Capcom's two big early Genesis showcases. Neither was quite arcade perfect, but they were as close as you could get at the time.

Great episode! I happen to live near happy console gamer in bc but don’t know him personally

All Star crew right here

This is an amazing vid, yet again!

awesome awesome video. and your dad sounds like the coolest person

Soo amazing video. Thank you.

Great episode, the Genesis version of Ghouls is easily the best one, just perfectly balanced while still being tough. I’m glad the Turbografx mini came with the supergrafx version too, really cool to see how the two compare

As a huge fan of retro gaming, I wa very excited to discover this video and channel just now. "What's up guys? It's your buddy Tyler comin'' at ya". Oh right, never mind. This is not the content I'm looking for.

Boy that game was the hardest

One of few great capcom titles converted in the console

Hey you're back!

My first one was on the megadrive and then super Ghouls and ghosts on SNES

This is one of the games I’d bring with me to a desert island

In my opinion this feels the best to control out of all the old games in the series. Does the Sega version feel better to control than Super Ghouls and Ghost?

I still haven’t plucked up the courage up to download it for my switch yet. I don’t know if I want the mental punishment🤣

Me and my brother beat this on hard when we were 10. It was our second game for the genesis at the time. And why is Joe always so salty haha.

Tyler and I are kind of similar growing up collecting games my first console I got was the PS1 slim I was 2 years old in the year 2000 since then I've collected a lot of gaming consoles over the years and played all of them from the NES SNES TO THE GENESIS ALL OF THEM. the current ones I have right now are the PS1 original the PlayStation 2 original model Xbox original Halo edition a PS3 slim Wii psp 2ds and ps4 I was always excited when I got a new console and I currently collect games for them so yeah we are kind of similar though but the only thing difference is that you kept your consoles when you were a kid my consoles that I had when I was a kid were destroyed

Ghouls n ghosts is one of my favorite games ever. I remember the first time I thought I beat it and was celebrating lol. I actually think the difficulty was about right on this and super. I beat them too many times to remember. Ghosts n goblins however... that game was too tough. I managed to beat it but I had no desire to put myself through that again. Anyone remember Magician Lord? Another amazing but super tough game.

I love this game, even the Master System version is awesome.

This was the game that taught me to be a methodical, unemotional problem solver.

I actually beat Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts on the SNES (the first run through at least) before ever playing this. I found this one dramatically harder and never saw most of the game. Too bad, because it looks amazing.

Hi I purchased the PC engine mini just for this game, it still looks amazing, also loved the megadrive Japanese version, I am less attracted to Super Ghouls’n ghost even though the snes was my only console back in the time. Great memories shared in this video...may I ask is your dad still playing games ? I play a lot with my daughters, they all so love the mini arcade systems (MVSX and Street Fighter) I am building an arcade system with a CRT screen and a prefabricated arcade stick and raspberry Pie ;)

Great video! I had originally seen pictures of Ghouls N’ Ghosts on the box for my Genesis. But because Ghosts N’ Goblins had mentally scarred me (You had to beat it twice?!) I didn’t bother playing it. But once I played it in the arcade, I had to get a copy for my Genesis. When I finally did, I was amazed how close it played to the arcade game. Funny enough, I got it after Strider, a game that set the bar high for arcade ports. On an unrelated note, I couldn’t help but notice your Game On Expo shirt. Are you in AZ?

I had the Japanese version of the capcom collection on PS great game but super hard I never finished either of them I quit out of frustration 🤣🤣 . The new one on the switch looks sweet but don’t know if it’s as hard as the original ones . Great videos brother . 🙏🙏.

The main reason I loved the Genesis version (favoring it over the SNES version) is the fact that the game runs more stable and controls are more responsive (without the lag that plagued the Nintendo version). Oh and I take shooting up and down over the double jump.

This game is one of the rare cases where I like the Genesis version over the SNES version. Masterpiece.

Who seriously down voted this video? It was great!

I remember Ghouls n Ghosts. I purchased the game on Genesis and the game was brutally hard. However, Super Ghouls n Ghost on SNES was way better.

I haven't played it yet, but I will try to get one and play it.

Resurrection is fun.. I love it.. I growl under my tongue at it ..when a game makes me mad at its difficulty that means it's a good game

You have to wrestler with the devil and go to hell and back again to beat this game, literally. That was all completely intentional. These arcade games had horror themes for a deliberate reason, not just looks, it was a dare. "You're going to have _nightmares_ about this game, kid." If you think about it, all the original horror games from Japan were _frighteningly_ difficult. That *was* the trend. Standing in front of the Ghost n Goblins or Ghouls n Ghosts cabinet working the joystick with that music and those sound effects felt like pulling the lever on a trap door on yourself that lead straight to hell. It was a sadistic box of nasty tricks that you were so stupid you actually paid a quarter for. You could hear the Crypt keeper laughing behind your back for doing it. The joke that you burst out onto the scene a daring do knight in shining armor and then run willy nilly around in yer underpants, completely vulnerable after just one touch said it all. You were definitely leaving this place screaming with your hair turned white and stuck up on end screaming. After it ate you up and your friend laughed at you there was the added drama of "ok, you try it then." And after they were done you'd see the whites of their eyes as they turned to admit "Yeah, it is really hard."

The best game by far on the mega drive system in my opinion but saying that I think it would have been better if capcom had added the shooting directly downward like in the SNES version which I also found to be a good game with a high difficulty level as you’d expect from a ghouls n ghosts game I love this game and I still play it on my original MK1 mega drive (29 years old and yes it still works!!) Nintendo switch is my next purchase just to play the new modern take on the ghouls n ghosts game I hope capcom decide to release it on the new consoles ie Xbox and PS5 we need these modernised retro games to be on multi formats not just the handheld consoles

I love SEGA GENESIS

I'm a ways in to the new one and it's great but it's no Ghouls N Ghosts. It's magical. That Sega Genesis sound chip 👍

Your dad had good taste in games Tyler

It was almost the same game as the arcade. They removed the intro scene though.

These games were more my brothers style, whenever I attempted to play them I always died right away so I never got far in any of them but they're cool though still

I even own the supergraphix version of this game, but sadly no supergraphix yet lol. Maybe if I ever get aroinf to buying a nice crt. My idiot self got rid of them when I switched to flat screen. I just can't play retro systems on modern tv.

subbing with the bell for a few videos bcuz happy console gamer

super ghouls n ghosts dropped in nov of 1991
