Adventures of Beetlejuice: Skeletons in the Closet

Adventures of Beetlejuice: Skeletons in the Closet (1990)

by Riedel Software Productions
Genres:Platform
Themes:Action
Story:A truly bizarre game which was rather popular at the time. It's an action game of sorts, in which you play Beetlejuice himself and you have to kill (?) all kinds of skeletons with weapons -- you start with the ability to shoot a single loogie at the skeletons and, by collecting bonuses from destroyed skeletons, you may get additional loogies per shot or completely different weapons. Also, after you hit a skeleton, your friend Lidia has to collect the skeleton's remains with a vacuum cleaner; however, if a skeleton find Lidia she becomes imprisoned in a cage and you have to release her by hitting another skeleton and taking a "lightning bonus" from his remains. Another nice touch is the worm, which comes out of the playground every now and then and, should it hit you, kills you.Show more

I've only played it at a friend's house on such an old computer that had big blue diskettes that you had to replace for each game. I don't remember much about the game besides the fact that it looked so weird but fun, and that it was a big impact on why I loved PC gaming to begin with.
