Welcome to our weekly feature, Virtually Overlooked, wherein we talk about games that aren't on the Virtual Console yet, but should be. Call it a retro-speculative.A LONG, LONG TIME AGO, BEFORE HUMAN BEING APPEARED... THERE LIVED A MONSTER NAMED FIREBRAND IN A GAME CALLED GHOSTS 'N GOBLINS.
He was a huge jerk. As anyone who has ever played Ghosts 'n Goblins will tell you. In his own games, the Gargoyle's Quest series, he gets a taste of his own medicine-- both from all the monsters who now want to fly directly and unavoidably into him and from us, who still hold a grudge for pretty much every time we tried to play Ghosts 'n Goblins. Eventually we were able to put aside our rage and help Firebrand succeed, but we always remembered in the back of our minds that this guy is an ass.
