{"product_id":"ghostbusters-genesis","title":"Ghostbusters - for Genesis","description":"\u003cp\u003eGhostbusters for the Sega Genesis was developed by Compile and published by Sega of America in 1990. If you thought the Ghostbusters went out of business after their last victory, think again: the ghosts are back in town, and Peter, Raymond and Egon are back on their feet and ready to save the world. Ghostbusting still takes a lot of money, a lot of equipment and plenty of guts, and this time there is the dreaded mystery of the missing stone tablet to solve. Compile's craft is what makes this Ghostbusters stand out, with lively sprite work and music remembered as warmly as the game itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou guide the Ghostbusters through their jobs in a mix of platforming and shooting, taking one of the three out on each call, since they do not all handle the same way. In the field you blast the ghosts, ghouls and goblins waiting for you and face larger spirits at the end of a job, then spend what you have earned on stronger weapons and equipment before heading out again. That cycle of earn, equip and return is the heart of Ghostbusters, and stocking up is the only way to take control of the tougher assignments. It is a single player game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers still enjoy this Ghostbusters because it treats its subject with real affection. The upgrades make progress feel like running a business as much as fighting ghosts, the enemy designs are playful, and the soundtrack gives the whole thing a swagger that few licensed games of 1990 managed. For collectors it is a prized piece of both the Genesis library and the Compile catalog, and it sits comfortably beside the console's other early Sega published titles. Ghostbusters is an easy cartridge to recommend and a hard one to leave sitting on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Platform Shooter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e NTSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Only: No Box or Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note that this listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003egame cartridge only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
