Ghostbusters II is a notoriously challenging action game released for the NES in 1990. Based on the hit movie sequel, this side-scroller has players exploring haunted locations, blasting spirits with proton packs and slime blowers, and driving the iconic Ecto-1 from a top-down perspective, culminating in a memorable Statue of Liberty stage.
How to Play
The objective is to navigate various side-scrolling and driving levels, defeating ghosts and avoiding hazards to reach the museum and defeat Vigo the Carpathian. Use the Arrow keys (D-pad) to move or steer the Ecto-1. Press Z (A button) to jump or accelerate, and X (B button) to fire your weapon. Enter (Start) pauses the game.
Tips
- In the side-scrolling stages, take it slow. Enemy spawns can be overwhelming, so clear the screen before advancing.
- During the Ecto-1 driving sequences, focus on dodging obstacles rather than shooting every ghost, as colliding with barriers drains your health rapidly.
- Watch your footing on the Statue of Liberty stage, as the awkward jumps over gaps are responsible for many lost lives.
