AzureKnight:
First off I'd like to thank all of you, I'm just embarking on my life long dream to own my own arcade machine.  I've been lurking here for months reading old posts and learning a ton.  You have all helped me avoid a ton of mistakes I would have made.

Next up, since my interest in older games has flared up I am trying to identify a game I had only managed to play a handful of times.  It had a similar play style as "The Real Ghostbusters" arcade game from Data East in 1987 and was around the same time frame (at least when I played it).

Only this game had more of a Castlevania / Van Helsing sort of feel to it.  I recall wandering around in spooky forests and such, shooting at monsters.

Any ideas?

RayB:
So it was top-down view like Ghostbusters?  I can't think of any with that theme. Around the same time there was Alien Syndrome by Sega, and others that were military shooters. I don't remember one with the theme you speak of.

AzureKnight:
It wasn't Alien Syndrome, as I know that game very well.  It definitely had more of a fantasy vibe to it all.

Oh well, thanks to all who took a look and thought it over.  If I ever find out I'll post the answer!

i'd go to maws..

select the category: Shooter/Walking

that is the category that ghostbusters falls into,so if the game is similar it should be in that category.

there are 120 results, look through them and see if one of them is your game.

DashRendar:
Welcome to the community!

We'll need more information to ID that game.

1) Was it a top-down view?  Side view?  First person view?  Etc

2) Describe the character you controlled.  Was it a wizard, barbarian, knight, etc?

3) Anything special about the game?  Unique monsters you had to fight?  Any steeds or did your character go on foot the whole time?

Any other details you can remember will help us find it for ya.
