Radio Ghosts

• Four shades of green

• Genuinely awesome original four-channel Game Boy soundtrack

• All the snark from a fifteen-year-old girl that you can handle

Gameplay:

  • Your mom

  • A haughty wizardess

  • A touchy goblin

  • A cold and calculating cat

  • Paul

• Top-down super-fun non-Euclidean cartographic action

• Controls: arrow keys + Z key to interact; Xbox and PS4 / PS5 controllers also supported

• Customizable GB emulator courtesy of GBCBag2

• No, there's no saving, stop asking

• Costs about the same as a coffee, but won't stain your teeth

Coda: Where's the ROM?

If you'd like to play Radio Ghosts on a different emulator or on a flash cart on real hardware (GB / GBC / GBA supported), find the location of the game's install. The ROM is located at game/game.gb. Rename the file as you see fit. Please do not redistribute the ROM in any form, or you might turn into a radio ghost yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you.
