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.

Thanks for the links!

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"

That was notable for having a pretty good soundtrack for the SNES:

Still to this day I hum Black Sabbath when I drive fast or do any fancy weaving.

Heard Sabbath on this game before anywhere else, I still love them so much.
