The briefing

About this game

Golly! Ghost! is a light gun shooter produced by Namco. Players use the attached Zip and Zap light guns to battle comical ghosts that have taken over an abandoned Victorian-era mansion in the Northeastern United States.

The game features four scenes. In each one, players must reach a specified score before time runs out. Bonus ghosts appear as everyday objects, including jackets, hamburgers, and footballs, and award extra points when shot. Each scene concludes with a boss fight; defeating the boss causes it to burst into smaller ghosts that can also be targeted.

As a redemption game, Golly! Ghost! awards tickets according to player performance. It is listed for Arcade and Final Burn Alpha Neo.
