  Ghosts 'n Goblins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghosts 'n Goblins (魔界村 Makai mura, or "Demon World Village," in Japan) is a classic arcade game by Capcom.
Released in 1985, it was followed by one sequel, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, and was ported to numerous home computer platforms.
Ghosts 'n Goblins was also ported to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC 464, Nintendo Game Boy Color and the NES.

The incredible challenge of Ghosts'n Goblins, coupled with the fact that the game must be beaten twice to be completed once, probably led many players to conclude that the game was literally from Hell.
Ghouls'n Ghosts was ported to the Sega Genesis and NEC SuperGrafx, and a heavily revamped version, called Super Ghouls'n Ghosts, made it to the Super NES.

Ghosts 'n Goblins Exceed is yet another excellent freeware game inspired by 8-bit classics.
The original levels seem to have been reproduced decently, although they are not exactly the same as the ones in CAPCOM's original game.
Aside from the original's reproduction, there's the Exceed Mode: all new levels, structured as a simple action-adventure, you have to find some keys and solve some small physical puzzles, so to reach the bosses (which are NOT from Ghosts 'n Goblins).
