    Mass Hysteria

    What a great movie Ghostbusters was. Too bad the same can't be said for its NES adaptation. What I want to discuss, though, is not how lame this particular video game was, but how it feels like exactly the same kind of game that would have come out today, in 2012. Let's delve further.

    Ghostbusters on the NES is a poorly-designed movie-tie in game. The box art is simplistic and almost free of any colour. The game itself is primarily grey. It only has a handful of levels. Most screens look tediously similar. There were multiple versions of it across many platforms. The final boss fight is pathetic and uninspired.

    I just described Ghostbusters, but I've also just described about 15 or 20 titles that have been released within the past year. Funny how history repeats itself. :S

      Worst Ghostbusters Game Ever Made 0

      Ghostbusters(Nintendo Entertainment System) by psykhophear on October 07, 2009

      Ghostbusters on the NES is abysmal. Nothing about it is good. Not even average. All the important aspects in a video game are not present in Ghostbusters. If you haven't experience Ghostbusters on the NES, you're one lucky sonnafa gun. Ghostbusters is a very very boring game with limited sound effects, repetitive music, dull graphics and broken controls.   Map of doomThe moment you boot up Ghostbusters to your console and see the title screen, you'll know you're in for an awful trip to hell.
