Ghosts and Goblins

Listen kids, this is how you spot them, this and their rubber skin. Dogs bark at them too.

Ghosts and Goblins (NES)

Not the same, but apparently close.

The NES & arcade versions are very similar in terms of level layout and enemy spawns. There are certainly differences, but I haven't played the arcade version enough to tell you what those specific differences are.

I personally enjoyed Total Annihilation, but Planetary Annihilation and some of the later games, like the Spring-based remakes never quite caught me the same way.

The arcade was the original version. There's also a really good modern port on the Commodore 64 with a banging soundtrack called "Ghosts n Goblins Arcade"
