Ahh, Pops Ghostly, watching it again brings back many memories of hours spent trying to rid that house of those pesky ghouls.
I hadn't thought of this game in years until my old friend who used to play this with me called one day. We began reminiscing and realized how much fun that really was.
Picking an action max system off of ebay for a reasonable price, i began to watch the video once again....
The general outline is a bunch of ghosts were being invaded by, you guessed it, GHOSTS! and when scary things get scared, RUN!
You progress through the house shooting flashing spots on the marionettes that float by, chanting and screaming.
Eventually you find yourself WHIRLING through some kind of time tunnel at an incredible speed until you enter back into the house, following a skeleton through a window!
Granted there is no real storyline to speak of, beyond your mission, but there are some neat tricks they use, ghosts appearing to scare two children who chased a dog in, and a neat fireball throwing demon thing.
The music used is 80s Gold! its synth-horror-pop at its best, and kind of catchy at times.
This is the kind of game that was fun because you had to use your imagination, and it encouraged this through the ghosts talking to YOU and bringing the player into the game.
I think the game would lose a lot of its charm if they remade it into a CGI or animated game.
Out of 5 stars, i would give it 3. Probably the best of the ActionMax series, and the easiest to find as well!
