Here is an NES Oddity that was first pointed out to me by Psykosuma's reviews. Although I had played Ghosts 'n Goblins before reading his reviews, I never really took much notice of the game's intro. But now that I take another look at it, I realize just how bizarre it is. At the beginning of the game, Arthur and Guinevere are making love in a graveyard. That must be what they're doing, because Arthur has no clothes on! In a few moments, a demon swoops out of the sky and kidnaps Guinevere. Now, who on earth takes their girlfriend out on a date to a graveyard! I've seen some really screwy Nintendo Logic, but this one takes the cake! But, wait! There's more! Now here's something Psykosuma didn't mention about the cinema. The kidnapping scene happens pretty quickly. Let's take a closer look at it in a still I captured...

When the demon kidnaps Guinevere, she is sticking to the damn thing's crotch!! What I used to think was a simple princess kidnapping has now become the most f***ed-up opening sequence to a game I have ever seen! Now I really have been scarred for life!

I think enough has already been said about this one! However, since I own an NES-related site, much like with the Bad Dudes thing, I'm legally bound to mention it. But I have to really wonder what the heck the programmers were thinking (or smoking) when they put this in the game? Also, I remember seeing the original Namco Ring King in arcades years ago, but I don't remember if it had this bizarre scene or not. If so, then why would Namco put something like this in a game? But Data East did the NES conversion, so if it wasn't in the arcade, then why would Data East do this? The world may never know.
