The irony of my renting this (AND the sequel, back to back I think) as a kid, is that I didn't get to actually WATCH the damn movies! I got to see PART (where the demon dogs attack Dana Barret and Luis Tully) of the first movie at a friends house, but for whatever stupid reason, my grandmother (who could be incredibly nonsensical and inconsistent like that), never rented or let me SEE Ghostbusters 1 and 2 when I was growing up. Which sucks complete ass, because I would have loved them (even IF what little I saw did scare me at my friend's house). I WAS able to later catch a BIT of the "Real Ghostbusters" cartoon (which is awesome) on TV. But GB was one of many things I should have been able to see as a kid, that I missed out on.
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?
