Descpription: Ghosts 'n Goblins is a platform game where the player controls a
knight, named Arthur, who must defeat zombies, demons and other
undead creatures in order to rescue Princess Prin Prin.

Along the way the player can pick up new weapons, bonuses and
extra suits of armor that can help in this task.

The game is often considered very difficult by arcade
standards and is commonly regarded as one of the most
difficult games released for the NES.

If the player loses a life, he is returned to the start of the
level, or the halfway point if he has managed to get that far.

Furthermore, each life can only last a certain length of time,
the clock being reset at the start of a level. If the clock
does run out, the player instantly loses that life.
