    Ghostbusters for Sega Genesis is an action platformer. Guide squat, cartoony versions of the Caucasian Ghostbusters through six haunted levels.

    Who you gonna call?

    Genesis was particularly known for its unique sound and visual style, which Ghostbusters took full advantage of for their Genesis debut. The caricature-like look of the characters is great, as are the cartoony (yet genuinely frightening) ghosts who populate the labyrinthine houses that make up this game's 5 levels. Hunting around for bosses is a fun idea, and it feels like a 16-bit precursor to Shadow of the Colossus in that respect.

    One qualm, though: why no Winston Zedemore? Come on, guys, Winston was a Ghostbuster too. He was present for all the big moments in both movies AND the animated series: there is ZERO excuse to exclude him from this game.
