Play Ghostbusters II (Europe) Online

Ghostbusters II for the NES came out in 1992, published by Activision. It was one of those late-era NES games that tried to capture the movie's energy with the hardware's limitations. You don't see it talked about as much as some other licensed titles from that time, but it has its own quirks that make it memorable.

You control the Ghostbusters, switching between them to navigate New York City screen by screen. Your main goal is to hunt down and capture ghosts while managing your proton pack's energy. Signature mechanics include using your stream to weaken ghosts before trapping them, and driving the Ecto-1 to travel between locations. The pacing is uneven, with some frustrating difficulty spikes, especially during boss fights. It feels like a rough but earnest attempt to turn a ghost-hunting adventure into an NES game.
