Game Overview

Adventures of Beetlejuice: Skeletons in the Closet came out in 1990 for MS-DOS, published by Hi-Tech Expressions. It was one of those many licensed games from the era, trying to capture the oddball charm of the movie on home computers. You got it on a floppy disk, and it ran in that chunky, colorful EGA style that felt both limited and full of personality.

You control Beetlejuice through a side scrolling haunted house, spitting projectiles at an endless supply of skeletons and other ghouls. The main goal is to clear each room of enemies so Lydia can safely sweep up the bone piles they leave behind. The game plays screen by screen; you can't progress until you've defeated everything in your current area. It moves at a deliberate pace, and the difficulty comes from the sheer number of enemies and your somewhat awkward attack. Playing it feels like managing a bizarre, supernatural cleanup operation where you are both the pest and the exterminator.


Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
