Play Phantasm (japan) Online

Phantasm was a Game Boy release from 1991, developed by Natsume. It arrived when the handheld was filling up with action adventures, offering a different kind of quest. You don't control a typical hero; you are the ghost of a former gangster, returned to settle a score.

You guide this spirit through a series of interconnected rooms, clearing each screen of enemies before you can proceed. Your main goal is to explore the sprawling mansion, defeat the bosses within, and ultimately confront the man who betrayed you. Your primary tool is a sword for close combat, but you also collect special orbs that grant temporary, screen clearing attacks. The game is methodical; you must defeat every enemy in a room to unlock the exits, which creates a deliberate, sometimes tense pace. Moving through the quiet, enemy filled halls as a vengeful spirit gives the adventure a persistent, lonely weight.
