Play Casper (Japan) Online

Casper came out on the Super Nintendo in 1996, developed by Natsume. It was part of that late era on the system where licensed games sometimes tried something a little different, and this one stood out for its lighthearted take on the spooky genre. It doesn't try to be a big epic; it's just a solid, colorful adventure that feels right at home on the SNES.

You control Casper the Friendly Ghost, floating through a large, haunted mansion. Your main goal is to rescue your human friends from the clutches of the villainous Kibosh. The gameplay involves screen by screen exploration, solving environmental puzzles by possessing objects like suits of armor or grandfather clocks, and avoiding hazards like ghost-sucking vacuums. The controls have a deliberate, wobbly weight to them that sells the feeling of being a specter. It's not a brutally hard game, but it asks for some patience and observation. Playing it feels like gently unraveling a spooky mystery at your own pace.
