About Ghostbusters II

Ghostbusters II is an action-adventure game developed and published by Activision, released in the late 1980s for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It follows the narrative of the popular movie sequel, tasking players with protecting New York City from a new wave of supernatural threats.

As one of the iconic Ghostbusters, you navigate various city locations, from bustling streets to eerie interiors. The primary tool at your disposal is the proton pack, which fires a concentrated stream of energy. Your goal is to weaken ghosts with this stream until they can be captured with a ghost trap, a process that requires careful timing and positioning. Successfully trapping ghosts clears areas and allows you to progress through the game's stages.

Beyond on-foot exploration, Ghostbusters II incorporates driving segments where you pilot the Ecto-1, the team's signature vehicle, through different city environments. These sections often involve avoiding obstacles and reaching objectives quickly. A recurring element in Ghostbusters II is the presence of slime, which can hinder your movement or be used strategically. Managing your equipment and positioning yourself correctly against the various spectral entities are key to overcoming the challenges presented.
