New Ghostbusters II

New Ghostbusters II is a side-scrolling action game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, developed by HAL Laboratory and published by HAL America. It brings the spectral adventures of the Ghostbusters franchise to the console, allowing players to step into the shoes of the iconic paranormal investigators.

In New Ghostbusters II, you navigate various haunted environments, from city streets to eerie interiors, in a bid to capture ghosts and prevent New York City from being overrun. Your primary tool is the proton pack, which fires a stream of energy to weaken ghosts. Once a ghost is sufficiently weakened, you must strategically maneuver it into an open ghost trap to successfully capture it.

Each level presents new spectral challenges and often requires you to find keys or activate switches to open pathways. You'll encounter different types of ghosts, each with their own movement patterns and attack styles. Boss encounters punctuate the gameplay, demanding careful timing and use of your equipment. Collecting power-ups can temporarily enhance your proton pack or provide other advantages, aiding in your ghost-busting efforts throughout New Ghostbusters II.
