Play Ghostbusters II (Japan) Online
Zapping pixel ghosts with a wobbly proton stream, figuring out which museum doors hide the next spook—it shouldn’t work this well on a Game Boy, but here we are.
Ghostbusters II on the Game Boy came out in 1990, developed by HAL Laboratory. It was one of those licensed games that tried to capture the movie's vibe on a tiny screen, back when handhelds were all about simple, portable fun. You didn't expect much from movie tie-ins back then, but this one had its own take on the ghostbusting premise.
You control a single Ghostbuster, moving screen by screen through New York locations like the museum and the streets. Your main goal is to find and capture all the ghosts in each stage using your proton pack, which you aim with a targeting reticle. The challenge comes from managing your proton pack's energy; it depletes as you fire and needs time to recharge, so you have to pick your shots carefully. The pacing is methodical, and some ghosts require specific tactics to trap, adding a bit of puzzle-like thinking to the action. It feels like a condensed, thoughtful version of ghost hunting, where every zap and dodge matters.
