    Question

    Calling you veteran gamers

    I used to play this game at University but never finished it, which always bugged me.

    When I eventually managed to kill the 2 bosses (big bears/trolls or something) with the spear it told me that my weapon had no magic power and showed me a picture of the shield. It then sent me back to the bottom of the Castle

    I don't see how I could kill them with the shield as it had no range, does anyone know how you got to complete the game?

    I used to play this on the Amstrad , it was great.

    Unfortunately for you I think I was completely pants at the game, and therefore am of no assistance to you whatsoever. I just dropped in for the reminisance value.

    Dont think there is td. But have you ever heared of MAME? It is an arcade emulator that lets you play the actual arcade games via their ROMs that can download off the net. It supports somewhere areound 3,000 games including Ghost and Goblins and just about any other game you can think of.

    you can get MAME here

    you can get roms for it here

    Yes I believe that there is you could have a look on www.gamehippo.com and for the complete solution (and possibly where to buy the game for the PC) www.pcgameworld.com/cheats/g/ghostsgbolins.htm

    Yip Mame is the coolest, use it for Galaxians and Galaga (and Donkey Kong) all the time.

    I used to play Gauntlet alot, I'm pretty certain that was also MAME, but I can't remember as I had a load of hassle setting it up.

    Wasn't there a spectrum version of this game called Ghosts and Ghoul's.

    The joke was always, I don't mind being caught by the Ghosties, but I'd hate to be grabbed by the Ghoulies.

    Of course that joke might not translate very well for all the non-brits.
