Descpription: Demon's World consists of several linear autoscrolling stages.
Armed with a gun, complete with energy pack similar to the Ghostbusters, the player
must shoot or jump on various ghosts and monsters that infest each area. Along the way,
the player can collect a power-up to change his gun to fire lasers, bombs, or even 3-way bullets.

The game's opening stages begin in an eastern setting, featuring various spirits and creatures of Japanese
folklore. Some of these include karakasa, chochinobake, kappa, hitotsume-kozou and rokurokubi.

The game then changes course, moving to a ghostly pirate ship and then the haunted American Old
West, featuring a ghost town and a canyon inhabited by traditional ghosts and monsters familiar to
western culture like Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, and even Jason Voorhees look-alikes.

The game's final stretch takes place in a medieval setting complete with cursed
castles and dungeons infested with haunted armor, goblins and dragons.
