Play New Ghostbusters 2 (EU) Online

New Ghostbusters 2 came out for the NES in 1991, developed by HAL Laboratory. It was part of that wave of movie tie-ins that filled the rental shelves back then, a time when licensed games often tried to capture the spirit of the films with simple, straightforward action. This one followed the sequel's plot, letting players step into the roles of the paranormal exterminators on their 8-bit adventure.

You control one of the four Ghostbusters, moving through side scrolling levels and haunted mansions screen by screen. Your main goal is to clear each area of ghosts by zapping them with your proton beam, then sliding a trap under weakened spirits to capture them. The game mixes exploration with light puzzle solving, like finding keys to progress or avoiding environmental hazards. It moves at a steady pace, though some enemy patterns can feel cheap if you're not careful. Playing it gives you that satisfying feel of cleaning up a haunted house, one ghost at a time.
