This game is multi-regional, meaning that it can be configured for different regions via the [[DIP switch]]es. These settings change the legal warnings, can display the Taito licensing message and can change the title between the English version (''Demon's World'') and the Japanese version (''Horror Story''). [http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7554] ==Gameplay== ''Demon's World'' consists of several linear autoscrolling stages. Armed with a gun, complete with energy pack similar to the [[Ghostbusters (franchise)|Ghostbusters]], the player must shoot or jump on various ghosts and monsters that infest each area. Along the way, the player can collect a power-up to change his gun to fire lasers, bombs, or even 3-way bullets. The game's opening stages in the presumably earlier arcade revision begin in an eastern setting, featuring various spirits and creatures of [[Japanese folklore]]. Some of these include [[karakasa]], [[chochinobake]], [[Kappa (mythical creature)|kappa]], [[hitotsume-kozou]] and [[rokurokubi]]. The game then changes course, moving to a ghostly pirate ship and then the haunted [[American Old West]], featuring a [[ghost town]] and a canyon inhabited by traditional ghosts and monsters familiar to western culture like [[Frankenstein's monster]], [[Dracula]], and even [[Jason Voorhees]] look-alikes. The game's final stretch takes place in a [[Middle Ages|medieval]] setting complete with cursed castles and dungeons infested with haunted armor, goblins and dragons. The more known newer arcade revision begins with the last town folks running out of the ghost town. The Chinese and Japanese levels are moved after the western themed ones and after the ship. At the final castle this revision misses the cave segment between the third dragon and the demon king boss. ==Ports== ''Horror Story'' was ported and released, only in Japan, on February 26, 1993 for the [[PC Engine]] Super CD-ROM² [[video game console]]. This port was published by [[NEC Interchannel]] (then NEC Avenue). ==External links== *{{KLOV game|id=7554}} [[Category:1989 video games]] [[Category:Arcade games]] [[Category:Run and gun games]] [[Category:Taito games]] [[Category:Toaplan games]] [[Category:TurboGrafx-16 games]] {{Taito-videogame-stub}} {{runandgun-videogame-stub}} [[es:Demon's World]]
