After playing all of the major versions of this game for the eight bit console, I find that the Sega Master System does the best job. Grant it, the game itself is not an excellent game, but a good game. You start the game with some money to buy ghostbuster items. You have to buy a car and there is four to pick from. There are various weapons and each car carries a certain number of weapons. The best thing to do is play the game and right the down the password if you have more money then you started with at the beginning. The next time you play, I'll start with more money to buy better things. When the game starts, you move around the city. You are the ghostbuster symbol. The more you move, longer it will take you to get to the site were the ghosts are. You know there is a ghosts on a certain block if the block flashes red. Drive to the site and bust the ghost. Collect the money and so on. Depending on the weapons you collect at the beginning of the game will determine on how easy your task will be the collect money. You may have to be close to a block to see if it flashes red and you may have to go back to headquarters more often if your traps are filled. After a while, you will be able to enter Zuul. There, the Marshmallow Man will stand in front of the building jumping around. Two of the three ghostbusters must pass him to continue into the building. If you succeed, you must climb the stair and shot some ghost to fight the final boss. The gameplay changes alot in this game, so be ready. You can pick one up complete for $5-$10 in an ebay store. Thanks, Master K.Read full review
To be clear, most of my attraction to this game is the fact that it is one of the first I ever remember playing as kid in the 80s, but even looking back now there's a lot to like. While the Ghostbusters franchise did not have its best showing during the 8-bit era, this game is easily the most superior. From graphical, sound and game play stand points, it a far better game than its NES counterpart (which is something of a rarity in itself.) The game play, while a bit odd, is original and the game makes enough references to the film to be faithful. While the Genesis Ghostbusters game is likely the best old school title based on the franchise, this is the first runner-up as far as I'm concerned.
I grew up during the video game revival that started in 1985/1986 when the NES was released and changed gaming history. However, my dad is a tech guy and had read about this new system from Sega that could do 3D and was better than the NES. Ghostbusters, being a favorite movie of mine, was the first game I saved up money for and bought by myself. My friend had it for the NES and once I slapped that cartridge into my SMS, I knew my dad had been right all along. The graphics were better, the music was better, the game itself was better. Granted it was hard and the ending wasn't the best, but I loved using traps and the ion beam to capture ghosts. Now that I'm in my mid thirties and able to collect retro gaming systems, I have had the pleasure of buying another copy of this game and to say it feels like I'm 10 years old again is an understatement. The simplicity of the game combined with the memory of having to save up for months to afford it when i was younger made this re-purchase all the more worth it. Defeating Gorza in Zuul isn't quite as tough as it was 20 some years ago, but it's still just as satisfying. If you're looking for a great platformer that shows why the Sega Master System was technically superior to the NES, this is the game to buy.Read full review
