Footage Of Ghosts ‘n Goblins Online Finally Surfaces

South Korea is the land of many things: Samsung, kimchee, Gangnam Style, to name a few. But here's another: MMOs based upon console games that most of are completely unaware of.

Well, that's a half-truth. Games like the Shenmu Online, Rockman Online, and Ghosts 'n Goblins Online make headlines when they're first announced. But most end up getting cancelled, and usually well after everyone has forgotten about them.
