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:

    “No author has created with less emphasis such pathetic characters as Chekhov has....”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “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)

    “The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
