Ghostie Quest

Why did I buy this game?

Ghostie Quest is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. But wait, it's worse. This 1999 game is made in JAVA. This craptastic train wreck (awful game even for 1999) has you guiding some ghost through platformer levels with some of the worst sound design I've ever heard (I almost jabbed a spoon in my ear to stop the noise. If you're going to go through that much pain, you might as well do it to yourself. Oprah calls that "empowerment". Thanks, Lewis Black).
