the best of both worlds
To think that Ghost and Goblins gave me nightmares when i was 6. Plus the controls seemed slow. I loved having the advantage of blasting away the undead with my plasma gun, it made the experience more interesting.
OH, and for that ignorant fucktard, "Ghost and Goblins" was for NES and "Gouls and Ghosts" was for SNES. I know, cause I bought Ghost and Goblins when in 1987.
