Beetlejuice in Skeletons in the Closet

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.

@guerrerojosu1 This game reminded me of the type of game we used to play in the C64, or spectrum.. or even classic arcade games were theres no real 'end' it just goes on and on.

@MephProduction Exactly.

@guerrerojosu1 yeah any game thats too hard for you must suck.

[guerrerojosu1]

This game sucks. It has about 250 platforms, and by the time you get to platform 100, the game's already got extremely difficult. Why did they have to make so many platforms for this game? This isn't World of Warcraft, for God's sake. Even the Flintstones game made by the same company is better. It is also hard, but at least it has a decent number of levels, and with the right strategy you can win that game. But for the Beetlejuice game you can only get so far until you die. This game SUCKS.

I know, it's such an awesome game, and the PC speaker sounded great with the soundtrack they gave it.

I still love the main menu song.
