Ghost Battle is a platform game developed by Interactive Design and published in 1991 by Thalion Software for the Amiga and ported to the Atari ST.[4] It was developed by Austrian programmer Erwin Kloibhofer and Dutch graphic designer Henk Nieborg who were hired by Thalion after the game was published. Ghost Battle was influenced by Ghosts 'n Goblins, Green Beret, and various horror films.[5] The pair later developed Lionheart (1993).
The game is a side-scrolling platformer that consists of five levels.[6] Three difficulty levels can be chosen at the beginning: easy, normal, hard. The player is a barbarian that has wandered into an evil forest and witnesses a princess being captured.[7] The barbarian can throw rocks and bombs at the enemies.[8] Additional weapons are available that are guarded by monsters.[6]
