Overview and Gameplay
Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler investigate haunted locations across New York after an earthquake unleashes a new paranormal threat. Choose one Ghostbuster, explore large side-scrolling stages, defeat ghosts, collect money, and recover pieces of a mysterious stone tablet.
Each character balances speed against stamina. The first four cases can be approached in a flexible order, after which the Castle and Deep Hole stages complete the campaign. Shops sell health items, bombs, protection, and stronger weapons that consume limited energy.
