Ghost Master

I played this game around the time of its release, and it's been one of my favorites ever since. Ghost Master is like a movie from before the CGI era—it doesn’t rely on high-polygon models, crisp textures, or a hyped-up soundtrack. Instead, it stands out through strong character descriptions, humor, clever references, and engaging gameplay. One of its best aspects is the role reversal: you're not the hero—you’re the antagonist. You collect ghosts, hear their stories, and gradually develop a distaste for “the mortals.” It builds sympathy for the supernatural, which is rare in games. Are there flaws? Sure. Graphically, it shows its age. But that fades within minutes. The sound design, writing, and gameplay hold up, especially if you enjoy strategy games with a sense of humor. To me, this is one of the most underrated games ever made. It deserved more success—and a sequel. A remaster feels unlikely, but I still hope. If you like horror, comedy, strategy, and a touch of the macabre, play this game. You probably won’t regret it.

Ghost Master is a pretty unique game where you manage ghosts to scare people or accomplish scenario goals. Some clankiness is present but I guess it is part of the charm. If you enjoy weird obscure 2000s games get this one on sale.

Back when this game was soon to be released I managed to get my hands on a demo of it. I played it, falling in love and buying it as soon as I possibly could. The game itself is a well made RTS, but not on the traditional basebuilding sense. this real time is a complete neighbourhood of challanges and puzzles giving players the power to actually do something unheard of previously and control the ghosts. On first glance , it looks a lot like a strange sims game, however from the first level it comes alive with stratergy. You are the unlikely leader of a swarm of ghosts, controlling everything from tv destorying gremilins to headless horsemen. With a intricate upgrade system allowing you to tailor ghosts to their highest ablities crossed with a cartoony hilarious undertone this story allows you to be the creaper. Hoards of unique ablities raising fear, belief or instanity allows you to truely perfect your scare tatics. The game itself has very few bugs and a charming set of puzzles to unlock new minons. This game is a unheard of classic and will hopefully find new life at GOG's also, for extra fun, check out the few mods that are online, such as my personal favorite allowing any new ghosts to be taken to old levels, a must have for any true fan.

Neat concept, but after the first half, it gets very tedious. Feels more like a job than a game, and after solving the ghost "puzzles" the rest of each level is tiresome and mechanical.

i had this game on a cd but i didnt work on xp. now it does work. great game i recommend it :D
