Developed by Imagineer and published by Electro Brain Corp., Ghoul School arrived on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992 as an action-adventure game. It blends action-adventure, action and horror elements.

It landed about 7 years into the NES's life. Other notable NES releases from 1992 include Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5 and Yoshi's Cookie.

Imagineer also made The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants, Barbie and The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World for the NES.

Ghoul School is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the NES hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Ghoul School is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
