Description

"Ghostbusters II" for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) is a video game adaptation based on the 1989 movie of the same name, developed by Imagineering and published by Activision. The game puts players in the boots of the iconic Ghostbusters team as they navigate through a series of levels inspired by major scenes from the film. Tasked with the mission of saving New York City from an invasion of ghosts, players must use their trusted proton packs and slime blowers to capture a variety of specters. The gameplay is a blend of side-scrolling action and driving sequences, where players must also dodge obstacles and collect various items to aid in their ghost-busting mission.

One notable aspect of "Ghostbusters II" on the NES is its divergence in gameplay and design from its predecessor and from other regional versions. Unlike its more simulation-oriented predecessor on the NES, this installation offers a more direct action approach, making it more accessible to players looking for immediate ghostbusting action. Additionally, the game is known for its challenging difficulty, a common trait of many NES games of that era, which requires players to master its mechanics to progress through the increasingly tough levels. Despite mixed reviews from players and critics alike mainly due to its challenging nature and deviations from the traditional Ghostbusters gameplay formula, it holds a special place in the library of NES games as a memorable piece of '80s pop culture nostalgia.
