Two hits and Sir Arthur is left in his underwear, that's the game's honest promise.

Ghosts 'n Goblins' profile sits low, on almost every line. On few votes, fun collapses, ahead of barely 7% of titles, and the controller feel does little better, around 20%. Art style, desert island, attachment and the wish to rediscover it also stay near the bottom. Only the soundtrack stays a little afloat, ahead of just over a third of games, on its best-stocked votes. No surprise: this is one of the hardest games ever released, built to swallow coins in arcades. What made it a legend, its brutality, isn't what questions aimed at emotion and shared joy measure.

Next to the action platformers of its era, it's the uncompromising ancestor, the one you respect more than you cuddle.

So, who's it for? For you if you love pure difficulty, the pride of beating the unfair. A lot less if you want a game that rewards you quickly and makes you want to come back relaxed.
