The Commodore Amiga version of Ghouls ‘n Ghosts is a 1989 port of Capcom’s classic arcade game, developed by Software Creations and published by U.S. Gold. It’s a decent effort but suffers from many arcade ports of the era on the Amiga in that it did not take advantage of any of the Amiga’s custom chipset. So let’s fix that, add some smooth scrolling, 50fps gameplay and a splash of color. We also uncover some interesting secrets hidden in the game code.
