 |  A Very Last Chance Both For Ghosts And For Goblins
 The legend says: Commando commercial C16 version, the official one, iis the worst computer game in the whole world. You probably haven't ever met with Ghosts 'n Goblins C16, I presume!
Actually, there's no chance of forgiveness for this bunch of total mess, and the only way to appreciate it again, after "just" 32 years, is a C16 working trainer on disk, in order to have a complete view about the desolation of the proposed scenario. And this is it: 4 trainers and that little graphics bugfixing about the main..."sprite" and the title logo. And that's what Ghosts 'n Goblins +4! rapresents all in all.

Thanks Luca for that cool release...
Somehow i alwayes like that game but i was never be able to beat the second level because
it is impossible to pass down trough the last two big goblins, because they are not jump high enough...
Even if you use the invulnerable cheat to pass them, it's a bit fustrating because there is nothing more to come...no Exit sign or something 
Anyway, thanks for your release!!! the title screen ist very cool, also the multicolor player fix 
regards,
Norman

Thank you blinddarm, you fully got the sense of this release 
Ghosts 'n Goblins has probably been another do-it-in-few-days Elite Systems release, just to have the same game on all the declared machines, and from that point of view we should clap our hands to the braveness of the good old Ray Tredoux who had borne the shame. The second and last level ends abruptly just before a new gate is displayed...

As frequent game cracking aficionados, we should coordinate our movements

Ghost'N Goblins is (unfortunately) one of the worst games for the C-16, but not the worst. And not Commando.
No, the worst thing in my opinion is still Green Beret.
The "new" version of Commando is now missing only, that everything would be in memory and no reloading would be necessary.

ON:
0) Nice release, thank you guys!
1) I liked the trees in G&G C16
2) I stuck in the water ;-)
OFF:
I think TCFS version of Commando is rather acceptable. and it is not a 1-to-1 conversion.

Guys, do you believe I would have been writing Green Beret in that text, instead of Commando? OMG my mind is vanishing...

Cool, that nasty player sprite now also looks quite awesome!! (I suppose it's just one flag, but that would've done a lot for the players backs then!) Nice to see! And nice to see, that you are active coding again!

Luca, you wrote Ghost'N Goblins, right, but also one of the worst games for the C-16. And then there are the names like Commando or Green Beret ...

C16 Commando is far from being one of the worse games with a vote of 3.8, Quick Draw has a vote of 1 and needs a willing friend before you can even play it.

hmmmm, how sad 
After all your great work with that fixes, cheats and adding a really cool title screen, there is no way to beat the game without the invulnerable cheat...
As MMS already said, i also like the trees in the first level.
Even the Design in the second Level is quite good.
Lets hope to fix that last small bug someday
regards,
Norman

Why were the characters so large?
Talk about making a rod for your own back!

I remember short playing this game on youtube nine years ago.
Just watched the "review" again... and yes, G&G still sucks.
Have fun:

Anyway, thanks for "improving" this game. Good work Luca & Fire!
