      ZAMN was always annoying to me on genesis because of this horrible enemy hit noise it makes. Purely because of the sound, I always ended up playing the SNES version of that one, even though I far preferred the Genesis as a console overall.

    Another fun game to play during Halloween would be "Haunting: Starring Polter-guy", which involves being able to play as a ghostly skateboarder whose objective is to scare away a sleazy businessman and his family out of their home by possessing various objects in many spooky yet hilarious ways. In fact, if there ever was a proper video game based on "Beetlejuice" to be made, that is how it would definitely be played. XD

    • @zusk8556

      Totally worth it. If you play as Eric LeCarde, you can stab diagonally by holding down the attack button and pressing the D-pad in any direction, even in a sweeping clockwise or counter-clockwise motion to sweep the spear around him in a spinning arc. I never see anyone doing that on playthroughs, not sure why. You can also hold down to charge up a super jump that kills anything you come into contact with.

    Zombies Ate My Neighbors is surprisingly very long. I had a copy decades ago, but I never finish tye game. The difficulty ramps up quickly by the fourth level ("Chainsaw Hedge Mayhem"). The password system was also both good and bad: good because they were short and allowed players to advance, but bad because they only appeared every four levels.
    I also had Ghostbusters. That was one of the first Genesis games I ever played. I still remember the steps and items required to beat each case and boss.
