Ghosts 'n Goblins Fun Facts Add Fun Fact

The Ghosts 'n Goblins series is known for its extreme difficulty, but an often-overlooked fun fact is that in the original arcade version, players must beat the game twice in a row on a single playthrough to see the true ending, as the first completion is deemed just a trap devised by Satan.
In the original Ghosts 'n Goblins game, if the player stands still for too long, a small demon called the Satan's Hand will spawn and attempt to kill the player, encouraging constant movement throughout the game.

Minds Beneath Us

This is a fun indie gem. Visual Novel, slight choose your own adventure (so far). 10 Hours in currently. The premise and world is really interesting, and the type of scenario I wanted after reading Permutation City by Greg Egan. Dealing with mind/consciousness, and AI. Topics I like exploring.


Biggest downsides so far are that it's quite wordy. The English translation has issues now and then. So far is it doesn't feel like I can actually make very many impactful choices. I can sometimes, but even if I do 'all the things I'm absolutely not supposed to do', the game steers me back to being successful. So more like an interactive story so far; though I know there are supposed to be multiple endings.

Absolutely loving playing through this right now. If you like the old-school combat/puzzle mix that quite a few old jpgs have - this game is gonna blow you away. Dungeons, puzzles, bosses, nice progression - it's a love letter in the best sense of the phrase. Worth every penny and then some.

This game is such a beautiful love letter to old school JRPGs. Real Golden Sun vibes at times. If you enjoy any of what I just mentioned, it's worth giving this one a shot.

We hope this page was fun!
