Ghostbusters is an action game that features an overhead-view and a side-view. From Ghostbusters HQ, the player must monitor a map of midtown Manhattan for "ghost alarms", as well as for casual, roaming spirits, and plot a route to the alarmed area. Once the route is plotted, the player then controls the purchased Ghostmobile as it drives through traffic. Here, the player is able to capture casual ghosts on the way if they are en route. When the haunted location is reached, the game switches to a side-view. Two of the Ghostbusters will take position, activate their proton beams, and toss a trap to the ground. The player must then use the two Ghostbusters to attempt to lead the ghost(s) over the placed trap. Once activated, the trap springs to capture any ghosts directly above it. A successful capture will earn the player money, which can then be used to purchase new Ghostbusters vehicles and new modifications for it. An unsuccessful capture will see the ghost fly away (after nastily sliming one of the Ghostbusters).

It is infact a thing. Nice version of the Ghostbusters theme tho.
And yet, she let me rent the games? Who even knows. As for the game itself, it's not very good. In fact it kinda sucks, if I'm being honest. I even thought so as a kid, and at that age I was MUCH less jaded, I would try to get the most out of ANY game, no matter how crappy. As such, while I probably had some help from Game Genie (I would imagine), I DO remember getting up those goddamn stairs, and facing Gozer at the end of the game. I can't quite remember whether or not I BEAT Gozer...but let's say maybe?
