All I can say is this game is insanely addicting. Ghouls and Ghosts as well as Ghosts and Goblins (hell even Super Ghouls and Ghosts for snes) My only problem is I cant even make level 3. Nothing makes me feel worse than seeing the 1 life gameplays on youtube. Anyone got any gameplay tips? I know this is a popular game.
 
I'm not that good at it either, friggin hard game. You basically need to play it lots and remember where the enemies come from and how they move. Easier said then done. Lots of practice...great games for sure
 
Thats actually a question I had. Are the enemy spawns random or not, I feel like they spawn based on where you are. I mean some spawn close or far from you but I dont think if you sit in one spot and wait then once you move theres gonna be a bunch of them.

I think you need to be within a distance of a spawn spot, but idk if its random or not
 
From years of playing the game, I'd have to say they're not random. Certain enemies are, such as the zombies in the first stage, but the birds, killer melons, flying demon, they'll always be in the exact same places. You'll never be able to defeat a wack 'o enemies in one spot and then continue on through the level without encountering anything else as you've defeated so many, and of course there are the static enemies which will always be in the same place.
 
I played both G 'n G lots back in the day. I can sometimes get to the 2nd quest on Ghost on one credit. Ghost 'n Goblins don't really get hard until the last level. Like all games you just need to practice. For example 2 days ago I had a game of Battletoads/Double Dragon, I got to the end of level 3, next game I got to level 4, after that I beat the game. It just takes practice and alittle skill.
 
Big G'n'G fan here, too. There's a Ghosts 'n' Goblins PCB in the for sale forum (or there was last I checked). I'd love to have a switchable "Ghosts 'n' Ghouls," but that'll have to go on the when-I-have-money-to-burn list with the rest of my wants.

As far as difficulty goes, I think there's a dip that allows/disallows continues... continues obviously make things way easier. The biggest tip I can give you for gameplay would be avoid the molitov cocktail/sword/axe/green-spiky-thing, and stick with the knife or javelin. The molitov is good for the boss of the ice level, though, since it arcs downward. Also, on the second run through, don't leave the graveyard before you get the goddess weapon; it's hard as heck to get in later rounds... and really easy to lose on the flying goblin level, too... all those little buggers and their baskets of bunk weapons.

Love this game!
 
Good responses so far, I can always make it to the midpoint of level 1 without fail. The part I get screwed so hard on is climing up the zig zag hill right after the hurricane wind part. Those long spikey things that come out of the ground, I swear they are after me, sometimes they pop up on the level under me and reach up and theres nothing I can do, sometimes they spawn in front of me and then right behind.. its insane. I watch gameplay videos and I swear no one gets as much torture as my guy, And my game is on normal not the hardest or anything.
 
On Ghost n Goblins I can make it with one life all the way to the Boss right before the last boss , but I never figured out how to kill that guy . I remember I had it down so fast I could get to that point in around 15 minutes .

:( makes me sad.

I started play Ghosts n' Goblins lately, I have Ghouls n' Ghosts on my multi board so thats what I always play, Definitely both awesome games, I like Ghouls a little better because you can shoot up and down, but either way there both hardd

Wow, that`s pretty impressive.. on the last stage the re-fighting all the baddies always prevented me from ever seeing the end guy until youtube, or emulation.

I have some NOS sideart and marquee if you`re interested for any reason, 50 + shipping.
 
this game is insane. I been playing non stop and havent been getting much further. I am however seeing some patterns but I am still screw on the end of level one, after the winds, you gotta avoid all those freaking tentacle things..

I found this out as well which helped:

Don't open the first chest. Only open the second chest with armor on (you'll get the Golden Armor). The third chest will give you a weapon. Fourth chest - armor (if you need it) or a weapon.
