Play Real Ghostbusters Online
You blast ghosts in tight hallways with proton packs that feel heavy, juggling battery life while Slimer messes up your traps. The screen shakes when Stay-Puft stomps through, and those twitchy book ghosts still catch me off guard.
I picked up The Real Ghostbusters for Game Boy back in 1993, a little portable spinoff from Activision. It was one of those licensed games that tried to capture the movie's vibe on a tiny green screen, a time when you took what you could get for on-the-go entertainment. The hardware limited what it could do, but it had its own charm, fitting right in with other action titles of the era.
You control a single Ghostbuster, moving screen by screen through haunted buildings, using your proton beam to weaken ghosts before trapping them. Managing your proton pack's energy is crucial; it drains fast, and running out leaves you defenseless. The objective is straightforward: clear each floor of all ghosts, including a boss encounter, before moving on. The pacing is methodical, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly, especially when multiple enemies fill the narrow corridors. It feels tense and deliberate, demanding careful movement and quick reactions to avoid getting overwhelmed.
