Ghost Battle By Thalion Software

The game starts, your girlfriend has just been captured and it's up to you to battle across landscapes picking up day. (Just your ordinary "run of the mill" type plot for a

Ghost Battle is one of those Thalion games I never played when it came out, I heard about it years later from someone who thought that the music in this game (By Jochen "Mad Max" Hippel) was the best he ever did.

And the music is quite excellent, the game however is not quite up to the same standards, the graphics are quite excellent, and the scrolling and effects really good too... take a look.

by some Evil monster (With huge claws) weapons, solving puzzles and winning the platform hack 'n' slash!)

The game is co-developed by two relatively late comers to Thalion, Erwin Kloibhofer and Henk Nieborg. These two went on to create the classic platform game Lionheart. The two games allow you to see how Henk's graphical skills (which were already excellent in GB) develop.

(I wonder if this is another of those games that was bought "Ready made"?) they did the Amiga version (Which is a little better than the ST version) and Michael Bittner did the ST conversion. Jochen Hippel a.k.a. Mad Max did the

music which is excellent, each tune is so spooky and suits the level perfectly, if you have the ST Sound Plugin installed in your Browser you are listening to the title tune now.

Otherwise download the music from the Music Page and get either the YM plugin for WinAmp or use EagleTracker on an Amiga (or Emulated Amiga!) or you could just play the game!

As you can see the game is in a similar genre as the classic "Ghosts 'n' Goblins" (I wonder if that was the inspiration?? - Alexh) But it is fun, of the platformers that Thalion did I rate them as : 1) Lionhearted 2) Enchanted Lands 3) Jambala 4) Ghost Battle but that's just me.
