When they reach a mysterious castle, there's no way of knowing they're in deep trouble already. Yo! Joe! Beat the Ghosts is a platform game featuring two characters. The protagonists can jump, crawl, kick, beat, slide, and swim. They are even able to hold their breath when under water. If you are playing the game solely, "Joe" is your character of choice. A friend can take on Nat's part at the same PC. The game's purpose is to get rid of "Professor X", who is the bad guy. The players can attack opponents using several weapons, including molotovs, chainsaws and nunchakus. Yo! Joe! Beat the Ghosts doesn't offer save games. The copy protection requires the original disk at every start-up.Show more

As a child, I closely watched the adventures of Yo and YOE when my older brothers played the game. I, along with my neighborhood friend, tried to play the multiplayer mode. This music causes movement in old places in the brain.... Watching gameplay videos, we start to remember all those places ....
