Play Ghostbusters 2 Online
Guiding Ray through subway tunnels with a proton pack feels janky yet oddly satisfying, then suddenly you're awkwardly shuffling the Statue of Liberty down Fifth Avenue like some bizarre parade float. The museum fight against Vigo switches to this clunky isometric view where you can blast ghosts with... mucus sprayers, because sure, that tracks.
Ghostbusters 2 came out in 1989 for MS-DOS, published by Activision. It was part of that wave of movie tie-ins that tried to capture the feel of the film, often with mixed results. The game arrived when PC gaming was still finding its feet, with pixelated graphics and simple controls that were typical for the time.
You control the Ghostbusters team, moving through New York City to hunt down ghosts and stop the return of Vigo the Carpathian. The gameplay involves exploring the city screen by screen, using your proton pack to trap ghosts, and managing your equipment and energy levels. One standout mechanic is the slime blower, which you use to clean up toxic pink slime and fight certain enemies. The pacing is uneven, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly, especially during boss encounters. It feels like a rough but earnest attempt to translate the movie's humor and action into a playable experience.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
