In this corner, we have Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, one of the very first must-own arcade conversions for the Sega Genesis. In this other corner we have Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, the pumped-up sequel that helped to demonstrate the true power of the Super NES in the early days. These are two of the greatest side-scrolling action games of all time, and an important part in the Genesis vs. Super NES console war. But what did the critics say 35 years ago? Was it this back-and-forth or was there a clear winner in this 16-bit showdown? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Video Games & Computer Entertainment and more classic magazines that reviewed both of these arcade ports. Today we’re going to see where the critics landed and maybe settle this Ghouls ‘N Ghosts debate once and for all in this spooky new episode of Magazine Match-Up!
