SETUP:

- Press mouse button to start the gun adjustment of the left gun. Fire with mouse on both 'flash points' and press F2 to exit.


Bugs:

- The strange 'hiccup' about 10 seconds into the first level, all sprites dissapear for a second. I am sure this is a bug and not actually PCB behvaoir. This also happens at set times in levels, it usually will happen 2-3 times and you can set your watch to when it will happen. Karasu (ID 00113)

- After the 1st loop of level demos (showing one of each stage, the 2nd loop hotel demo (2nd stage) is glitched when the game starts to scroll to the upstairs. Karasu (ID 00263)

- In this bug, which also only starts to occur on the 2nd loop of demos, works as this: Seems to be every time, but when the game is supposed to show the Cemtery title screen, it performs the animation, but the high score screen skull is still visable (Im sure this is a bug). Karasu (ID 00264)

Arcade Video game published 28 years ago:

Laser Ghost (c) 1991 Sega.

A series of heinous events is in progress. Poltergeists are running rampant in the city. As if that wasn't bad enough, a little girl is kidnapped by one of the ghosts in broad daylight. Now it's up to Bill, Max, and Carol to put an end to the paranormal madness.

- TRIVIA -

Laser Ghost was released in November 1990 in Japan.

On the title screen, there is a tombstone that makes a reference to Sega's 1989 shooter "Line of Fire".

There are two gimmicks about Laser Ghost. The first one is that the cabinet has 2 removable benches for players 1 and 3. The second gimmick is that the laser guns have a laser imaging device on top of the guns which gives the illusion of shooting real lasers onto the screen.

Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Formula : G.S.M. Sega 5 - PCCB-00059) on 21/04/1991.
