Runtime: 57 Minutes
We're looking back at Ghost N' Goblins, released as an arcade cabinet in July of 1985. As part of our discussion, we'll look at the career of its creator, Tokuro Fujiwara. We'll also talk about our own experiences with the game alongside some interesting reviews. Finally, we'll touch on whether or not we actually like the game as we take today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
