Play Booby Kids (Japan) Online
You control two kids scrambling up a haunted house, dodging ghosts and awkward jumps—it’s janky, but the weird vertical scrolling gives it this offbeat charm. Mostly you’ll remember it for that ridiculous title.
Booby Kids is a 1986 Nintendo Entertainment System release from Nichibutsu, a game that arrived during the NES library's early expansion. It stands as one of many platformers from that period, distinguished mostly by its unusual structure and cooperative focus rather than any particular polish or refinement.
You control one or two characters, a boy and a girl, who must climb a vertically scrolling haunted mansion. Your main goal is to reach the top of the building, screen by screen, while avoiding enemies like ghosts and bats. The game uses a grappling hook mechanic to ascend certain sections, and you can collect balloons that allow temporary flight. The pacing is slow and deliberate, with awkward jumps and some unpredictable enemy patterns adding to the challenge. Playing it feels like navigating a clunky but earnest experiment in cooperative platforming.
