Ghouls

Ghouls is a computer game written by David Hoskins and published in the UK by Micro Power. It was released on the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC in 1984. It is a platform game. The player's character has the appearance of a Pac-Man sprite on legs and in a similarity to that game can also eat yellow dots for extra points. The main goal of the game however, is to obtain the treasure which is guarded by the deadly inhabitants of the mansion. The player must make their way through rooms such as Spectre's Lair, Horrid Hall, The Spider's Parlour and Death Tower. Various in-game objects must be negotiatied such as poison-smeared spikes, moving platforms, contracting floorboards, powerful springs and bouncing spiders.
