Ghostbusters on NES (I think a very similar game came out on other contemporary systems). While the Mega Drive ghostbusters game was hard but it was worth playing, I don't understand what they were thinking with this one. (What were they thinking?) For people who have played it, back then or now, do you think it has any redeeming qualities? The only thing I can think of is the AVGN episode that came out of it.
wow I just feel bad for the people that paid full price for this. Granted we had renting of games back then, but imagine being a kid on christmas and getting this for the master system or something.
I believe it was released on the C64 a couple days before Halloween and then on the NES and every where else shortly there after so yeah, just before Christmas.
But I mean that was just a common thing for the early to mid 80s when it came to videogames. Just get something out before the holidays with a hot franchise on the box and who gives a rats ass what the game is about or if it's even any good. it'll sell.
I suspect the master system version was slightly better than the NES, as the stairs part wasn't a stupid "mash A and B while being completely defenseless", you only controlled 1 dude and could shoot the ghosts, and it wasn't 20 actual fucking flights of stairs, though the music was the exact same from start to end.
