Zeke and his best friend, Julie, were at the Ghosts and Demons exhibit at the city library, when they came upon an old treasure chest containing an ancient spirit book. Being the curious kids they are, they opened the book and read the secret chant inscribed on page one. Suddenly the room began to shake, and out from the book emerged a horrific snaggletoothed spirit.

Now this snarling phantom and his dastardly minions are infesting Metropolis and slithering their way into the history books, where they plan to rewrite history with their spooky ways.

Travel from Metropolis to ancient China, the Caribbean, and a medieval castle, finally ending your adventure on the ghouls’ home turf. The first level of each stage contains ten victims. Rescue and protect these victims from the monsters as you progress through the levels. Be sure to follow the "SAVE ME!" and "THIS WAY!" cries as you move through the level as these will lead you to the spooked victims you need to rescue. After rescuing the victims, you will then need to find the time portal to advance to the next level.

Each player starts with three lives. When your Life Bar runs out, you lose a life. You will continue to progress through the game as long as you have victims remaining and lives for yourself. You will find a lot of items and weapons stashed in boxes, rubbish bins, drawers and so on. Don’t hesitate to search everywhere and everything.

Only Zeke and Julie have the power to get the mighty beastly spirit back into his book and stop the madness. Ghoul Patrol to the rescue!
