Laser Ghost uses the Light Phaser gun on Master System with first person shooting in a haunted mansion. The version keeps the gothic atmosphere and snappy pace with high difficulty. Solid for 8 bit gun game fans, original in the horror catalogue.

"From the very first seconds"
Gun in hand, you hunt ghosts through animated scenery, rescuing hostages along a supernatural chase. The pleasure is instinctive: aim, shoot, anticipate the next appearance. Support for several players turns the game into a friendly competition. Unusual and catchy, this rail shooter adds a fantastical touch to light-gun blasting.
