The crazy inventor Heinrich Von Schinker is dead. Or so we thought until the nightwatchman told us his fantastic tale of the haunting of Von Schtinker's old castle. Yes it has been confirmed. Heinrichs' sprit (a.k.a. Bubble Ghost) has been blowing a bubble throughout the macarbe halls of his ancestral home. Your job is to help Bubble Ghost move the bubble through the 35 rooms of the castle, past all the mad inventions of Von Schtinker. Once the little ghostie makes it through, the haunting will cease.

Games like this were great on the go, would take me a while to get the hang of the controls and then a while longer to solve some of the harder 'puzzles.' But Golly, learn the controls I did!

I was able to complete this for the first time using an emulator in about 15 minutes lol. It's really only a few rooms that are that tricky. Being able to see this game on a huge screen is also a big advantage (just wow at moving through the starburst traps)
