(US Gold, 1989) Once again King Arthur must take on and defeat the evil forces in his kingdom in this, the sequel to Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins. A simplistic platformer, you jump around, avoiding obstacles and traps, while shooting the various nefarious supernatural monsters that come at you from all directions using a variety of weapons. Large bosses have to be defeated at the end of every level and as before, you only have your set of knight’s armour and your pants to protect you! It looks only slightly nicer than its prequel but it lacks that game’s excellent music and original gameplay. If anything, it’s not the conversion of this game that makes it poor but the actual arcade original itself.
