Review Black Tiger (Virtual Console / Virtual Console Arcade)
Ghosts 'n Goblins 'n Gimmicks
In 1985, Capcom released the infamous Ghosts 'n Goblins upon the world. Still regarded as one of the most challenging games ever made, it was a smash hit and cost many players many, many quarters as they died again and again. Although it would get a sequel eventually, after two years, Capcom decided to make a similar...

Great action game if only too hard, just like Rygar. But luckily the VCA doesn't see you wasting quarters, so who cares?
Man, whoever recorded that needs a new video capture device. What a jerky mess.
Keeper, the thing about Rygar is that it doesn't let you continue for the last few levels which means its still very difficult, if not barely impossible to complete.
The shop mechanic reminds me of Forgotten Worlds. I'm liking the Rygar-ish action myself. Imma keep an eye on this one.
This game is the best!
totally forgot this game existed. One of my favorite arcade games back in the day. Sure hope this one gets a good review!
Hey, i remember this on my C64! Might get this. Cool game.
Of course the C64-version didn´t look like that.
Nice I like the game wasn't released on the consoles back in the day as far as I know.
Good to see Capcom release these games on VC Arcade its the ideal place for them
