  I am bad at Ghouls 'n' Ghosts. REALLY bad. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate its excellent presentation and impressive use of the ST's meagre sound chip, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeBwEPqRPyM

  Second disk doesn't work so can't load the game. -- Just downloaded it and tried with both Steem and Saint. Works well here. If you're using Steem please check that you have disconnected drive B, so you have to swap images manually and use TOS 1.02 for the best compability. Also check that you have set Pasti-configuration to Max accuracy. Atarimania ST Team
