Ghostbusters

"A SMS Classic"

This is the second Sega Master System game I got and it still is great to this day. This game is great on every level including replay value. I still play this game on my computer threw Roms and Emulators. This game deserves a 10 out of 10 for many reasons:

Graphics: 10/10
When this game came out it was top of the line and I can still enjoy the graphics when I continue to play it today.

Sound: 10/10
The classic Ghostbusters theme is here and it never gets old.

Gameplay: 10/10
This is where the game really shines. First you enter your initials and receive $10,000. You first use the money to buy one of four cars. Each car has its on abilities, which ranges in the car's speed to its ability to hold capture items. After getting your car, you can choose from a wide range of capture items which each help you capture ghosts. The map is a square city and you drive around looking for the red blinking building which are ghost infested. While driving you need to beware of obstacles which can destroy your car and cause you to lose time and money. There are a man and a woman walking around on the map which cause you to lose money when you drive threw them. Capturing ghosts is pretty easy because you have two people doing it. You can go back and buy a better car or buy more items. You can go back to your headquarters and drop off the ghosts (I think?) Towards the end of the game, the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man attacks and destroys buildings. As long as the city is safe (you have to make sure the cities funds are ok) you can proceed to Zuul. To get into the building you have to get past the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man, who jumps back and forth blocking the path of the 4 Ghostbusters. Getting through the building can be a pain as you must get past numerous ghosts. Once at the top, you fight the boss (I forget her name) and she and the dog things shoot things at you as you try and hit her.

Replay: 10/10
I continue to beat this game every couple of months. It only takes a 30 minute setting and it is well worth it. I had the Sega Master System and 30 games, but my uncle threw it away since he didn't know how to work it. I now play Ghostbusters on Meka and enjoy it just as good as I would on the TV. This game rates as high as Cyborg Hunter and Shinobi. This is one game that I will always remember and continue playing, unlike most PS2, X-BOX, and Gamecube games.
