The North American cut of this Capcom port of Ghosts'n Goblins shares the arcade's legendary difficulty and Game Boy backward compatibility. On the US market the cartridge shipped in larger volumes than in Europe, yet demand from punishing-platformer enthusiasts keeps its value steady. The angle specific to this version is its place in the wave of Capcom arcade ports aimed at the American audience late in the monochrome cycle, before the shift to colour.
