Arthur to Astaroth no Nazomakaimura: Incredible Toons [a] is a 1996 puzzle video game for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation which was only released in Japan. Capcom licensed Dynamix's Sid & Al's Incredible Toons engine with a Ghosts 'n Goblins motif. [2]

Gameplay

The game plays the same as the game The Incredible Machine . [2] The player must solve puzzles in the form of constructing a Rube Goldberg-like machine to accomplish a given task. [2]

Development

The game was initially completed without the Ghosts 'n Goblins characters, which Capcom decided to add in at the last minute. [3]

Reception

Kurt Kalata of Hardcore Gaming 101 was critical of the game, referring to some of the puzzles as "a bit odd" or "cruel", conluding that "as a game, its pretty difficult and really only for the most diehard puzzle fanatics, but its an interesting curiosity for a Ghouls 'n Ghosts fan". [2]
