🎮 Play New Ghostbusters II (Europe) Online (NES)

New Ghostbusters II is a top-down action game developed by HAL Laboratory and released for the NES in 1990. Distinct from the side-scrolling American version, this superior release was only available in Europe and Japan. Players select two characters from the film’s cast—including Louis Tully—to navigate haunted locations, capture spirits, and ultimately defeat Vigo the Carpathian.

How to Play

The game features a unique two-character capture mechanic. Use the Arrow Keys to move your lead character, press Z to fire the proton stream and tether a ghost, and press X to have your partner throw a trap. Both actions are required to eliminate ghosts, and rooms must be cleared to advance.

Tips

• Trap combos: If you tether multiple ghosts with your proton stream, your partner can capture them all at once with a single trap.
• Protect your partner: The trailing character can sometimes get caught on walls. Ensure they have a clear line of sight before pressing the trap button.
• Don’t delay: Once a ghost is held in the proton stream, trap it quickly. If held too long, the ghost will break free and inflict damage.
