I mean, I have nothing against haunted house games.
Is it as grueling as it sounds? Most definitely. Right, what can I say about Casper on the SNES? Basically the game sees you playing as the titular bald, big-eyed ghost, you’re constantly followed by whoever Christina Ricci was meant to be in the movie, “Kat” or whatever her name was, and your job is to go around the house keeping her safe until you’ve explored every single inch of the darn thing.
Well, might as well review the darn thing I guess. Ok, I’d heard there was a good Casper game out there based on the 1995 movie (maybe from one of the freaky cool dudes over at the Podcastle, I’m not sure) so I instantly jumped to the SNES Casper game because it was the only one I could think of and the SNES is usually a reliable console.Īfter about 6 seconds of playing it, though, I’m pretty sure the “good” Casper game was meant to be that Sega Saturn one… Yes, that’s a ghost up there but fear not: it’s Casper! The friendly ghost! Let’s explore the darkest, scariest, most disturbing recesses of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, shall we?
