This page needs more information on responses to the game as well as the "Ghostbusters Rule." I may put it in myself, but someone with primary information would be more useful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Whursey (talk • contribs) on 16:11, 30 December 2005.

It should be pointed out that, while four Ghostbusters get out to push the Ectomobile when it runs out of gas...only three Ghostbusters go up the stairs at the end of the game to fight Gozer. Game design issue, or racisit attitudes creeping in? Reverend Raven 10:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Considering the amount of mistakes and the sloppy play mechanism, I lean away from thinking that there were racist issues in the production of this game. WiiAlbanyGirl 22:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I've played Ghostbusters a lot, and I've never had the Ectomobile run out of gas. Was this a NES-only feature? JIP | Talk 15:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Having only played the NES version, I can't speculate on other formats. But indeed. Poor Winston. Reverend Raven 19:36, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I read in MikroBitti magazine that the game started development as a normal game where you just drove around in a city and the Ghostbusters theme was an afterthought when the publisher realised they could make more money that way. Is this true? JIP | Talk 15:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remakes

Apparently there are loads of remakes, perhaps this could be mentioned.--Darrelljon 15:16, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

For example, here's a link.--Darrelljon 15:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I'm proposing we merge the different Ghostbusters videogame articles into one article and mention the arcade one.

[edit] Cheats

Is interesting to point out that one of the cheat listed (the one giving you $1,000,000) makes the game impossible to finish since the money counter does not raise over $ 999,999 during the game and since you can enter Zuul building only if you earned more money that the amount you started with, the game will always finish with a failure

[edit] Trivia

Is there a reason that the trivia section suddenly jumps into first person? I don't think this is correct, or it's at least not stated correctly. This needs to be fixed. Jet082 21:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mistakes

I'm trying to figure out why the grammar is so incorrect in this section, and why the "Angry Video Game Nerd" is continually referenced without any sources. Can this be sourced through a different site? WiiAlbanyGirl 22:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
