Beetlejuice adapts the Tim Burton film to NES with its wacky ghost in gothic adventures. The dark art direction appeals but gameplay stays basic and difficulty uneven. Pleasant for film fans, in the lower middle of 8 bit horror comic cinema tie ins.

Collector interest

An LJN take on Burton's film, released in the US in 1991 in the publisher's distinctive rainbow box. The appeal rests less on the eccentric, punishing game than on LJN's place in NES iconography and the demand from collectors of period movie licences. Loose prices stay reasonable, with the complete copy in its recognisable LJN box being the goal for anyone assembling the publisher's full lineup.
