Ghostbusters 2 C64
Ghostbusters II for the Commodore 64 is a 1989 licensed action game developed by Foursfield and published by Activision. Unlike David Crane’s highly praised 1984 original, this sequel abandoned the business management simulation aspect. Instead, it opted for a strictly formulaic, multi-genre action structure divided into three distinct stages based closely on major scenes from the movie.
Gameplay Breakdown
- Stage 1: Van Horne Sewage Shaft: You control Ray Stantz as he is lowered down an air shaft on a cable. You must swing left and right to gather three matching pieces of a slime scoop before collecting a sample of psychomagnotheric slime at the bottom. Vicious ghosts attack your courage meter, while “saw monsters” try to cut your rope.
- Stage 2: The Statue of Liberty: This is a horizontal scrolling shooter level. You control Lady Liberty powered by slime and a boombox as she stomps through New York City streets toward the museum. You shoot fireballs from her torch to destroy formations of spirits while catching dropped slime to keep your energy meter filled.
- Stage 3: The Museum Finale: A frustrating isometric 3D stage set inside the Manhattan Museum of Art. You must position your Ghostbusters down to specific pixels to rescue baby Oscar, cross proton streams to defeat Vigo the Carpathian, and ultimately trap his spirit back into his infamous portrait.
