Ghost Manor - Characters

Characters

  • Friendly characters:
    • Girl: Playable on both the 2600 and the 7800, she sets out to rescue the helpless boy from Ghost Manor. Set the 2600's TV Type switch to "Color" to play as the Girl.
    • Boy: Playable on the 2600 only, he sets out to rescue the girl from Ghost Manor. Set the 2600's TV Type Switch to "B/W" to play as the Boy. Atari 7800 users will not be able to play as the Boy, since the 7800 does not have a TV Type switch.
  • Neutral Characters:
    • Bones: A invincible skeleton in the graveyard who will give you spears for use at the Gate.
    • Rainbow Ghost: A ghost who is otherwise identical to Bones.
  • Enemies:
    • Chopping Mummy: Found in the game's second stage, the Chopping Mummy is the leader of the Spooks at the Gate. He will try to stop the Boy or Girl from entering Ghost Manor. The Chopping Mummy is invincible until all of the Spooks are defeated. Contact with the Chopping Mummy's blade ends the game instantly.
    • Spooks: Any of the seven beings flying around the Gate. They consist of two green scorpions, two white skulls, and three black bats. Defeat them using your Spears.
    • Dracula: The sinister being who guards the Prison (and your friend) in the game's final stage. He is vulnerable only to the Crosses you find in the game. Contact with Dracula is lethal to your character.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Of all the characters I have known, perhaps Walden wears best, and best preserves its purity. Many men have been likened to it, but few deserve that honor. Though the woodchoppers have laid bare first this shore and then that, and the Irish have built their sties by it, and the railroad has infringed on its border, and the ice-men have skimmed it once, it is itself unchanged, the same water which my youthful eyes fell on; all the change is in me.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.”
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    “For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
