Ghosts 'n Goblins 1985

Is it still worth playing?

A knight named Sir Arthur fights zombies, giants, demons, cyclopes, dragons and other monsters to rescue Princess Prin-Prin, who has been kidnapped by Astaroth, the king of Demon World. It is a 1985 arcade platformer, known as Makaimura in Japan. Along the way he picks up new weapons, bonuses and extra suits of armor. He can be hit only twice before losing a life, which means restarting the level or going back to a checkpoint. A life is also lost if a level is not finished within a time limit. Some bosses cannot be killed by certain weapons, such as the dragon with the lance. After Astaroth falls, the whole game has to be replayed on a higher difficulty to reach the genuine final ending. A knight who loses his armor in two hits still keeps every fight tense.
