Ghost Town

This site is dedicated to my unhealthy relationship with the old Kingsoft game created by Udo Gertz.

Visit the mysterious Ghost Town, a place full of unexpected dangers and hidden treasures! Ghost Town is a fantastic adventure written by Udo Gertz and was released in 1985 for the Commodore C16, C116 & Plus/4. It was one of my favorite games when I was a kid and I never managed to beat the game. 35 years later I uncovered every single mystery hidden inside the Ghost Town. You can play the game as an extended version on the Commodore Plus/4, for the first time on the Commodore 64 or right here in your browser.
