“Ghosts ‘n Goblins” first appeared in 1985 and was a milestone in video game history. A little knight called Arthur jumped and fought his way through hordes of zombies, vampires and ogres on the consoles and home computers of the day.

In the following decades, Arthur would take to the field against the demonic host in recurring editions of the classic game. Now in 2021, just in time for his 35th birthday, he returns in “Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection.”
