Name: Ghost Hunter
Author/Vendor: Senchi Technology/Jumbo
Released: 1994
Type: Shooter

Premise: A wierd little shooter featuring a manga-style ghost hunter who throws his mystic harpoon at various bouncing enemies.
Impressions: Is the premise silly? Yes. Is it any good? Yes, but it's one of those titles that grows on you. Is it challenging? Undoubtedly. Is it addictive? Quite. The original and its various spinoffs were huge hits in Japan, and it's easy to see why - even in this toned-down and somewhat distorted MegaDrive version.
Variations: Pang (name of original Japanese arcade game)
Recommended Emu: Genecyst X
