As far as action platformers go on the Game Boy Color, Ghosts 'n Goblins is definitely on the top. It doesn't have any real extras (I still can't find the promised two-player or Game Boy Printer modes), so I wouldn't put it up with, say, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe as a "perfect" game -- but it comes pretty darn close.

The Next Level
Since this is a near-perfect clone from Nintendo, the graphics aren't really much of an issue. On the color, GameBoy characters and background come of clear and defined, retaining the moody dark color scheme. If you compare this to newer GBC titles, you will find only slight differences in level of detail. In terms of the sound, it seems to have followed the repeating tune formula of most GameBoy games. It may be cool for a while, but in the end you find yourself playing it mute. In all, Ghost and Goblins is a hard title to get through. Essentially it is frustration in portable form. But above all it is a great way to appreciate the good old Nintendo days.
