Play Ghostbusters (USA, Europe) Online

Ghostbusters on the Sega Master System came out in 1987, published by Sega. It was one of the many attempts to bring the movie to consoles, and on the SMS it offered a top-down perspective that felt distinct from other versions. The game arrived during a time when licensed titles were often hit or miss, and this one had its own take on ghost catching.

You control a single Ghostbuster, moving screen by screen through New York to hunt down supernatural threats. Your main goal is to earn enough money by capturing ghosts to eventually confront Gozer at the top of Zuul's tower. Key mechanics include driving the Ecto-1 across a simple map view, setting traps to catch ghosts, and managing your budget for equipment between outings. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty can feel unforgiving, especially with the awkward driving sections and tight timer. It feels like a rough but earnest effort to translate the film's charm into something playable.
