Heaven. A small kid playing this gem. 1984-85-86. Snow all around, winter nights, games where ground breaking for its Time. Many happy times 😊
Well... It wasn't groundbreaking, the Spectrum version got a lot of bad reviews because of it's poor graphics, music and synthesized speech however it was extremely playable for some reason and had re-playability because of you Bank balance carrying over to a new game so you could buy better vehicles and equipment on subsequent playthroughs
Man this takes me back...way back. I was so happy and content playing this.
I now have a ps5 lol.
I swear I had more fun back in the day
yes more was left up to the imagination back then, games are too much like movies these days and it feels like you're just guiding a character through a story
I did not expect the voice at the beginning to sound so good compared to other versions. ZX Spectrum surprises me again.
Fantastic ! Thankyou for giving my memory a jolt with this amazing game ! -All my 80's memories are seeping back into my cranium !!!
I remember the actual excitement at school when this game was released, the computer actually spoke! “He slimed me!” One of the few games I also completed.
Considering this was supposed to be mid-town Manhattan, the roads were remarkably clear of traffic!
For the Speccy, this was a fantastically detailed game and probably my all-time favourite. I don't remember so much music though, even after I upgraded to the 128k +2.
How my 7-year-old self described the stuff on the car (in order):
devil horns, vacuum cleaner, medicine pill, pies and toilet.
Very ambitious game for the time. Voice synth and game progression, with a campaign map and equipment. Ahead of its time.
Fuck me I'm old. I used to love this.
This one and Daley Thomson Decathalon! I remember stopping at service stations on the way from Edinburgh to Birmingham and picking up tapes of speccy games in the 80’s 😝
I remember playing and loving this but as i remember we could never get past the jumping marshmallow man
Same here. All it said in the manual was "sneak past" him. Great. But I don't really see how you can sneak past him.
Ooh never seen the ending! Loved the music and feel of this game :-)
I used to friggin LOVE this game! Good times :)
This was one of my favourite Spectrum games!
Did your other games include Fun Time with Bill Cosby and AIDS: The Video Game
@@PolythenePam0451 Presumably the only other game he owned was "Make A Chip".
@@PolythenePam0451 If I'd a choice of this, or Fred West's Hide and Seek of a Saturday night; I'd seriously consider big Fred....
Maybe he meant it was one of his top 10,000 favourites?
I like the theme of the game, of being called out to hauntings, and them gradually increasing. There was a slight strategy aspect to it. Great fun.
My god many fond memories of this. I still play the sega master system version which is the definitive version of this style of Ghostbusters game. Good stuff. Thanks for posting. 👻👻
that end scene with the marshmallow man was completely different on the one I had, there was just a door in the middle with stay puft jumping around and you had to get in the door.
That was the 48K version.
This was a good game for the speccy, far superior to the crap NES version.
I was about 5 playing this at my dads friends. We went into town to buy it and loved it so much
I could never get past Mr Stay Puft. My guys would die even if he was at the zenith of his jump.
Same.
Bustin' makes me feel good.
Ha ha. Just showed my 8 year old this. He found the speech hilarious. And thought slimer was a handbag. This was a good game back in the day
Wow, this brings back memories. I never knew what to do at the end.
Oh those days. Enough to bring a tear to your eyes. Paper round money in Boots 😏
I remember playing this on a black and white tv
Damn this game cost me my exams at school, I was up all night completing it instead of doing Homework.
LOL
Used to love this game when I was a kid lol...
The 128K version did have music. Sorry, but this video isn't a "scam", whatever that is.
Thank you so much. This answers so many questions ....
Me and my dad were at a game sort of event and there was a cassette with ghostbusters on, I asked dad if that was the soundtrack but he said it was a game, I now watch this video
I used to love this game. My dad had it
It seems to me that you don't place the trap close enough to the middle and you don't place your two men anywhere near far enough away from it. When the Slimer drops low down and near one of them you can fire the streams up and then move them inwards, eventually pinning the Slimer between them in a pyramid shape (don't cross the streams obviously, or the packs short out and you have to head home to recharge them). This means the ghost ends up with hardly any room to manoeuvre in and makes a trapping almost certain.
Yep, thats how you had to do it. 99% success rate that way
many a fond memory of this game :)
OMG!! Memories!! :)
All I remember from this game was the digitized "he slimed me"... which means I wasn't very good at it!
Haha... thank you, I never made it to the end, now I've seen it...
I adored this game
One thing i don't understand though is when you have placed your men and traps, if you miss, I'm sure you could move at least one of the little guys left or right. And if you did you got either a warning saying never cross the streams or if you did you died and it said "you crossed the streams" or maybe both?
If you cross the streams, the attempt to catch the ghost ends, and the game tells you something like: "You have crossed the streams! Fortunately the backpack energy has run out in time." (And you have to return to the headquarters to recharge it.)
When you place the trap and the two guys, you can then move them in order to squeeze the ghost between them and catch it with the trap. But if you miss, you can't try again, and the ghost attacks one of the guys. (If you fail in two missions, you can't place the needed two men in order to catch the ghost, and you again need to return to HQ so that they can recover.)
Retro envy that the 128k version had the theme beeping along all the way through
I played this game for hours... it was cheep but addictive
"He slimed me!"
There was a bug if you dropped the trap right at the bottom of the screen it would soft lock the game.
Thought this wasnt the 48k version, it had music. thought it was commodore for a moment. Awesome game though,.
It amazes me that this version is even better than the NES version.
So I guess I wasn't the only one who pretended I had my indicator on while driving!?!?
There is actual Ghostbusters now, they are catching wi-fi radio waves, btw
I tried so many times on my 48k to get my ghostbusters through that doorway at the end, didn't manage it once! Since heard it was way easier on the 128k. Wonder if it was even possible on the 48k... perhaps the last battle was cut out due to memory constraints?
I managed the feat, once - think it's something to do with Stay puft shifting to the left at the top of one of his jumps in the sequence - you had to be absolutely spot on with your timing. The 48k+ version didnt have the animation of climbing the tower at the end either - just jumped straight to the end bank screen with the account code
Hmmm, maybe one day I'll get hold of an emulator and have another go! May go straight for the 128k version though, hahah.
New York is visited by Frost Ghosts this year.
The codes I got after completing it to buy the better cars never worked.
hey, does anyone who what year and who has the copyright to this game?
Aaaah...sweet member berries
There is 128k version with AY music?
Hi there. Yes, a 128K only version with AY music was made.
Shit I don’t remember it being that good!
always got killed by the marshmellow man lol
Used to play this all the time, great password that you were given at the end of the game to enable you more money next time you play if you get over 10k.
0:06 Highpoint of the game, goes to shit right after that.
you must have died of boredom already.did you ever play it ???
yeah same, I managed it once by pure fluke, then melted one of the speccys chips trying to do it again with the system running constantly for a few days.
0:06
*OW MY FUCKING EARS*
It's a scam??? Never heard such a stupid comment, why would anyone in there right mind, why??? I mean why would someone make a scam video about a computer game from almost 30 years ago. Some people. It's a nostalgia thing and if you weren't the right age to have played this, it's lost on you anyway.
Will do, but Im all booked up at the moment.
Ive just replaced someone called ronald for a fast food outlet
This game made me upgrade to a C64
That one give me a goosebumps while this horrible sound saying GhooostBuuuuusssstter hahahahahahahaha it's very bad in 8-bits. 0:07 Jesus that's creepy.
This easy for dodging on Stay Puft. 27:44
How to fight Marshmallow ?. I do not succeed and destroy a building.
If you're asking how to stop him from destroying buildings, you need to buy ghost bait, and hit the 'B' key before the ghosts form the Marshmallow Man. At least that's how it's done on the C64 and Atari versions.
This game was a steaming pile. To make things worse, my version was 48k only, and had no music! If anyone hasn't seen AVGN's hilarious review of this game on the NES, you must watch it! :-)
Mine had no music either, but I did play the music version recently and blimey it gets repetitive quickly.
You missed 3 out of 4 of the first 4 ghosts, even I caught most of the ghosts on this game.
How do ye get the marshmallow man to come to u
Buy some ghost bait at the start, and press the 'B' key just before the ghosts on the map form the Marshmallow Man later.
This is just a saga now. I found out I had the ricochet re-release, voice and intro music but nothing in-game. The rubbish version, lol.
Yea this game was NOT cheap, it was full price. Looking back these games could be made in weeks and kinda sucked. Still luvved it back in tha day tho lol.
I got mine for about £3.
@@andrewmorrice9139 10 for me.
How the feck did you complete this when you missed the first 3 out of 4 ghosts?
You don't need to catch the ghosts to trigger the end game, when the baddies arrive at the Temple of Zuul. Catching ghosts just gives you $100 each.
@@rzxarchive Well yeah but catching the Slimers to raise enough funds to pay off the loan is kind of the point of the game is it not?
@@richallenxbox1976 You can also raise funds by attracting a marshmallowman, as at 16:11 where you get $2000, more than for catching ghosts.
It's certainly something strange and it don't look good.
Did people used to buy games? I swear, almost every game I owned was a copy, until they developed the technology to stop people copying their games - like, until probably the PS1!
screams "ghostbusters" in a very British cockney accent
Strangest Cockney I've ever heard!
Lol I could never win this .. and it was so easy.. omg
It never ceases to amaze me just how many of these accounts who upload gameplay vids are so horribly poor at playing them, it's practically painful to watch how badly you're playing this
stay puft : ghooost buuuusteers hahahahahahahahahahahahahaa
Ghooost Busters! HAHAHAHAHA ^_^
Commodore 64 with its SID chip actually sounds better
No shit, Einstein.
Do you have any other words of wisdom?
How about: "My Ferrari goes faster than a Fiat Punto"?
That was an awful first capture
1983 - I was born
1990 - Played this piece of shit game with my dad
2012 - My dad died
2016 - Completed this piece of shit
Die Activision, die!
the 128k version didnt have music either! its a scam video, lol-stick to the pc or console version. the films popularity doesnt seem to be disappearing, since the pc version only came out 3 yrs ago. im just hoping the new film doesnt turn out to be a bunch of teens with lasers versus the characters seen in twilight saga breaking dawn (whatever that is-ahem)
