Developer
Hi Tech Expressions

Beetlejuice on the NES came out in 1991 from Hi Tech Expressions. It was one of many movie tie-ins from that period, a time when developers often tried to capture a film's spirit in a side-scrolling adventure. The game puts you directly into the chaotic world of the movie, tasking you with causing mischief in the Deetz family's home.

You control Beetlejuice himself, moving through the house screen by screen. Your main goal is to scare the new living residents and their guests. You collect points by stomping on cockroaches, which you then spend to purchase different scare tactics from a shop. These scares are your primary weapons against the various enemies and bosses you encounter. The game can feel quite difficult, with its challenge coming from precise platforming and managing your limited scare resources. Playing it feels like a constant, frantic scramble to cause enough trouble before you get caught.
