The gameplay for Ghouls 'n Ghosts is similar to that of Ghosts 'n Goblins. The player controls the knight Arthur, who must advance through a series of eerie levels and defeat a number of undead and demonic creatures in his quest to restore the souls stolen by Lucifer (Loki in the English-language Mega Drive and Sega Master System versions), including the soul of his lover, Princess Prin Prin. Along the way, Arthur can pick up a variety of weapons and armor to help him in his quest. While the core gameplay remains the same as its predecessor, the game now allows Arthur to fire directly upward and directly downward while in mid air. By jumping in certain spots, players can cause a treasure chest to erupt from the ground. By firing his weapon at the chest, players may uncover new weapons, gold armor or an evil magician that changes Arthur into an elderly man or a helpless duck. The gold armor allows players to charge up the weapon to release a powerful magical attack. Each weapon has its own special attack. There are five levels and Lucifer's chamber at the end, considered a sixth level in itself. To defeat the game, Arthur must complete level 1 to 5 twice. Upon completing level's 1 to 5 the first time, Arthur is taken back to level 1 again but this time a special weapon appears during the game. To enter Lucifer's chamber the player must have this special weapon equipped and defeat the penultimate boss.
The legendary platforming series rises again, as Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection marks the heroic return of the gallant knight, Arthur, alongside the tricky platforming and challenging gameplay that the series is known for! Paying homage to Ghosts 'n Goblins and Ghouls 'n Ghosts, this entry combines the franchise’s action platforming gameplay with storybook-like graphics and challenging new obstacles.
Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins is the first game in the series to employ 3D graphics, while maintaining much of the 2D gameplay mechanics of the earlier games. It also marks the return of the series' project head, Tokuro Fujiwara. The game still follows the classic scenario of the heroic knight Arthur battling with demons, but includes a large number of changes.
Ghosts 'n Goblins is a platform game where the player controls a knight, named Sir Arthur, who must defeat zombies, ogres, demons, cyclops, dragons and other monsters in order to rescue Princess Prin Prin, who has been kidnapped by Satan, king of Demon World. Along the way the player can pick up new weapons, bonuses and extra suits of armor that can help in this task. The game is often considered very difficult by arcade standards and is commonly regarded as one of the most difficult games ever released. The game is considered by Gametrailers.com to be the world's second most difficult game ever made. The player can only be hit twice before losing a life (the first hit takes away Arthur's armor, and the player must continue on in his underwear until completing the level, or finding replacement armor). If the player loses a life, he is returned to the start of the level, or the halfway point if he has managed to get that far. Furthermore, each life can only last a certain length of time (generally around three minutes), the clock being reset at the start of a level. If the clock does run out, the player instantly loses that life. After defeating the final boss, but only with the cross weapon (if the player does not have the cross weapon, they will be prompted that it is needed to defeat the boss and restart at the beginning of level 5 and must repeat round 5 and 6 again regardless if the weapon is obtained immediately or not) for the first time the player is informed that the battle was "a trap devised by Satan". The player must then replay the entire game on a higher difficulty level to reach the genuine final battle.

On your journey, your mightiest weapon of all awaits you... MAGIC!
A Japanese-only entry in Dynamix's The Incredible Machine series based on the Ghosts 'N Goblins series. It is the only The Incredible Machine game with a plot, which is the same as in every Ghosts 'N Goblins game: the princess is kidnapped by Astaroth (the main villain of the games), so Arthur (the main character in the series) has to save her. It features all of the known characters of the series, such as the Red Arremer (who would get his own game series: Gargoyle's Quest). It also features items from the game, for example the armor icon, which is required for Arthur to move in this game. Not only does it have the most well known characters in the Ghosts 'N Goblins games, it also features remixed music of the series. As with the The Incredible Machine games, there are different kinds of puzzles, one of them even involves killing Arthur. However, unlike the The Incredible Machine games, there are no Head-to-Head puzzles and no Freeform Machine mode, so there's only single player puzzles.
