From the Archives: Ghosts ‘n Goblins Skeleton

So on this #WhateverWednesday post from the archives, we’ve got something completely different. It’s the Super7 ReAction Ghosts ‘n Goblins Skeleton!

The ReAction line is perfect for these low-resolution video game sprite-based characters. I was glad to find these on store shelves in a 3-pack with our hero, Arthur, and a pair of enemies from the game.

Originally released to arcades in 1985 before being ported to many different home consoles and getting sequels, the game featured skeletons as a common enemy. While they start as a simple skull on the ground, when Arthur approaches, they leap out and jump impressively high, one of the countless ways to die in one of the hardest games ever.
