Ghostbusters II

About

Ghostbusters II is a single player adventure game designed for electronic LCD handhelds. You control Peter Venkmann as he navigates a ghost-infested world, using a proton pack to zap spirits and clear the way. Each level tasks you with tracking down paranormal activity and capturing every ghost before moving on. The ultimate goal is to locate and rescue the kidnapped infant Oscar, who's being held by supernatural forces. Simple controls and a top-down perspective keep the action straightforward, relying on reflexes and quick decision making to succeed. Despite basic visuals and limited by early 90s LCD technology, the game captures the chaotic energy of the films. The challenge comes from tight time limits and increasing ghost numbers as levels progress. A small but vocal community of retro gamers still play it for short bursts of spooky action. While not complex by modern standards, it remains a nostalgic pick for those who remember the era of pocket sized entertainment and the Ghostbusters brand's peak popularity.

Storyline

The game follows the premise of the second film of the same name. The player moves Peter Venkmann around the screen, chasing and zapping ghosts in order to rescue the baby Oscar.
