Ghost House is a 1986 action-platformer released for the Sega Master System. Based on the classic 1982 arcade title Monster Bash, players take on the role of Mick, navigating a sprawling haunted mansion to defeat Dracula and his minions. Armed with a giant fist and the ability to find hidden weapons, players must collect keys, avoid traps, and survive waves of classic horror enemies.
How to Play
The objective is to explore the multi-level stages, find the keys to unlock Dracula’s coffins, and defeat him. To navigate the mansion, use the D-pad (arrow keys) to move and climb ladders. Press Button 1 (Z) to attack enemies with your fist, and Button 2 (X) to jump.
Tips
- Jump up to hit the light fixtures scattered around the house—some contain a powerful sword that temporarily replaces your punch and increases your reach.
- Dracula will transform into a bat to reposition. Track his movements carefully and attack as soon as he reverts to his vampire form.
- Avoid staying in one place for too long, as ghosts and other creatures will continuously spawn and swarm you.
