Play Beetlejuice Online

I picked up Beetlejuice for the Game Boy back in 1992, a time when licensed games were a real gamble. This one came from Rare, a developer known for pushing the little handheld. It was a side scrolling adventure that felt right at home on the system, not trying to be more than it was.

You control Lydia Deetz, navigating a series of haunted houses and the Neitherworld. Your goal is to rescue your dad and Delia from a wedding forced by Beetlejuice. You move screen by screen, jumping across floating platforms and climbing ropes. Combat is simple; you throw marbles at enemies like the Sandworms. You also collect items, such as keys to unlock doors and special objects to progress. The game moves at a steady pace, but some jumps require precise timing, and the enemies can be persistent. Playing it feels like a methodical trek through a strange, hand drawn cartoon.
