Oh I use to own the C64 & Sega Master version of the game and the pc version of the second....

The NES version was blah. The Sega Master was better. The C64 version had no boss fight. I could never beat the Master Version....

Ghostbusters 2 on PC was lame.

I heard the Genesis version of Ghostbusters is awesome.

But... the crappy NES version had that "so-bad-it's-awesome" digitized voice when you started it! Doesn't that count for something?!

The Sega Master version had a bouncy ball that would bounce over text of the Ghostbusters theme song. So you just pop in the game and sit back and belt out the Ghostbusters theme song:

Yeeaahhh!

Okay the voice thing on the NES version was Cool. I mean WHOA voice on a NES game. Totally Rad! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLPxo57aJkg

Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGM01IIJvRE

Later it became Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItFrYkZs-rg Why? Cause I guess parents bitched the show got to dark or something?

Remember Extreme Ghostbusters? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4TjIkAYAZw

Who Ya Gonna Call? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4uxIo4t7xM Bless you Ray Parker Jr. For making the best theme song ever!

RUN DMC's Ghostbusters was alright for Ghostbusters 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxF9bjKVTuo

Ever check out the Braxtan Film's Freddy VS. Ghostbusters: http://www.braxtanfilm.com/fvgb.html

and the much improved Sequel Return Of The Ghostbusters: http://www.returnoftheghostbusters.com/

If you don't like FvsGB, still give ROTGB a chance. It's awesome.

Got a link? Would like to check it out.

Here you go:

I wasn't sure about the cartoon graphics of the Wii at first, but its slowly winning me over. I might pick it up when it drops in price a little.

Interesting that Akroyd liked how the Wii version turned out the best.

He's a fan of The Incredibles, and thought the animation looked very similar.

Let's hope all there hard work on this game pays off....

I mean we have been told by game developers and the celebs involved with them, in the past of how cool the game will be. Then when it comes out it's a steaming pile.

 

[Spoooon]

I'm going with the Wii version. I'll pick up the 360 version when it gets cheap.

I had the sega master system version of the game when it came out. It was tough to beat at first but after a few years I can beat it almost every time I play it.

Hopefully the PC version will run nice @ 1920x1200 with lots of AA.

Just pre-ordered from gamestop.com using in store pickup.

 

[Crow550]

I hope we get a making of feature included with the games and such.

I pre-ordered the Wii version but will be getting the PC version later on.
