I found one for sale but it looks really generic so I tried to find it in the klov database. It's not their. Anyone know why not?

Search the resto forum for RussMyers' GNG resto. He did a hell of a job and it's dedicated. It used to be mine.
 
Apparently the database doesn't like ampersands. Someone posted about this and another game with an ampersand having the same issue. So it isn't intentional.

But isn't it "Ghosts 'n Goblins"? Not "Ghosts & Goblins"? Either way, I have no problem with it. Only people "in the know" will know how to register G&G. :D

Great game by the way. Pretty difficult though. As soon as the armor comes crashing off, I get all nervous.

Websites with poor code don't handle apostrophes very well because it's a character used in SQL. Honestly, most databases/apps I know of should handle an ampersand without issue.

I'm pretty picky about games I'd plunk money down on and Ghosts 'n Goblins is one I'd buy. Nice graphics. Awesome music. Difficulty is high enough for repeat play value. Plus the fact that you get to run around in your underwear is pretty sweet. The first time I saw that I couldn't believe it.

They should've put a sticker on it, though. "Warning, this game is hard enough to make your 8-year-old self cry. Put your token into something else". I remember playing this in the arcade when I was a kid and just being so frustrated had how quick and repeatedly I died.
