Summary

In Beetlejuice for the NES, you guide the mischievous ghost through a mix of side‑scrolling and top‑down stages, each packed with the film’s quirky vibe and a dash of the animated series. Early on you’re prowling the Maitland House, hunting down Otho while crushing cockroaches for points—those points become the currency for buying all sorts of scare tricks, from ectoplasmic blasts to spooky summons. As the game pushes beyond the movie’s set pieces, the levels turn surreal, dropping you into sewers teeming with mythic beasts and even an after‑life realm where the stakes get truly otherworldly. Rare’s 1991 NES title blends familiar characters with fresh, off‑beat challenges, letting you build a personal arsenal of terror while navigating both familiar and wildly original locales.
