Play The Real Ghostbusters (US 3 Players) Online
Team up with friends, control the Ghostbusters, clear out ghosts in New York City, and tackle bosses in this 1987 arcade side-scroller.
The Real Ghostbusters is a 1987 arcade game by Data East, now playable through MAME emulation. It arrived during the peak of side scrolling beat 'em ups, offering a cooperative take on the popular film franchise. You and up to two friends control the Ghostbusters, moving through New York City to clear out a supernatural infestation.
You choose between Peter, Ray, or Egon, each wielding a proton pack to trap ghosts. The main goal is to advance screen by screen, defeating waves of spooks before facing a boss. Signature mechanics include coordinating your proton streams to wrangle larger ghosts and avoiding environmental hazards like flying toasters. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can spike sharply during crowded encounters. It feels chaotic and silly in the best way, especially when three streams tangle and everything goes wrong at once.
