The Real Ghostbusters

released on Dec 31, 1987

A port of Meikyuu Hunter G

A 3-player top-down arcade game where one player controls one of three unidentified ghost-busters. The game is based off of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon, rather than strictly off the movie franchise. The player can choose between a red, yellow or blue-jumpsuited character though all have the same abilities. These powers include an energy gun that transforms a hostile monster into a harmless, basic ghost, which are then captured using the proton beam. Other abilities are an invincibility field and the ability to summon Slimer to absorb attacks instead of the player. In Japan the game is known as Meikyuu Hunter G, but bears little resemblance to the western version as it did not use the Ghostbusters license.

At least they had the good sense to slap a Ghostbusters skin on Commando and call it a day rather than trying some inane gameplay style that has no bearing on what happens in the films.

This was actually rly good which caught me off guard honestly. Level design and enemy placement is all super fair and the mechanic of catching ghosts is simple but fun, give this one a shot if you're a ghostbusters fan!
