Developed by Imagineering and released for the NES in 1990, Ghostbusters II is an action game based on the hit movie sequel. You take control of the iconic ghost-catching team as they battle paranormal threats across New York City, working to stop the evil Vigo the Carpathian. The game mixes side-scrolling platforming sections where you trap ghosts with overhead driving stages in the Ecto-1A.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive the treacherous levels, which include descending into the sewers, driving through the city, and controlling the Statue of Liberty to reach the museum. The default NES controls in the browser are the Arrow Keys to move, X (mapped to the A button) to jump, Z (mapped to the B button) to fire your slime blower or weapons, and Enter to Start.
Tips
- During the side-scrolling segments, be careful not to waste your slime ammunition; you cannot easily defend yourself if you run completely out.
- In the Ecto-1A driving stages, prioritize dodging hazards and jumps over shooting. Hitting obstacles drains your life gauge very quickly.
- Take your time on the platforming sectionsโenemies often spawn rapidly, so a slower, more deliberate pace helps avoid taking unnecessary damage.
