Golly! Ghost! is an electro-mechanical/video game hybrid released by Namco in 1990.
There are two mounted guns on the arcade console. The gun on the left is colored blue and is nicknamed "Zip". The gun on the right is red and is nicknamed "Zap". The player(s) use the guns to shoot a specific amount of comical enemy ghosts before time runs out. This is a video ticket/redemption game. Players are rewarded based on their scores with tickets, which emerge from a ghost's mouth painted on the console.
Golly! Ghost! contains four levels of play and is also notable for its use of a three-dimensional diorama over which the actual video ghosts are projected.
A sequel to the game, Golly! Ghost! 2, was released in 1991 and was themed around sunken treasure.

Golly! Ghost! (exclamation marks compulsory) is an electro-mechanical/videogame hybrid that was released by Namco in 1990. It runs on Namco System 2 hardware, and uses a diorama which is controlled by the game's driver board to open and close mechanical doors which are connected to solenoids, much like the movable items on a pinball table. The diorama has lights (24-volt globes) that come on only during gameplay to light up the rooms. All the lights are on when the game is being played during the shooting scenes and off for the cut scenes, title screen and high scores. The lights are not individually controlled, they are either all on or off. The driver board powers the diorama unit's solenoids and lights via some connectors on the driver board. The guns also plug into the driver board via another small connector.
A sequel named Bubble Trouble: Golly! Ghost! 2 themed around sunken treasure was released in 1991, but only in Japan.
