ZXSR: Formed part of the Best Of Elite Vol 2 compilation. Other games were Paperboy, Space Harrier and BombJack 2.

The game is officially called "Ghosts'N Goblins", with the plural "Ghosts" on the title, but a "Ghost'N Goblins" title does appear on the spine and back (but not the cover) of the original Elite release, and also the Zafiro and ZCobra releases of the game. One of Capcom's early prototypes also has the singular "Ghost" in the title name, but does not seem to be related, and everything can be attributed to just a common typo.
