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.

I really appreciate this comment. Your opinions are grounded and also respectful in that you don't insult what has come to be known as one of the worst NES games.

I wonder if there are ROM hacks that address any of the issues you mentioned.

Romhacking has 3 total hacks for the game, and 2 that are meaningful.

Still, I suggest if you're looking at ROMs, try using VICE and a .d64 of both Ghostbusters and Autoduel. But I will say, please read the manuals.
