Ghostbusters adapts the Ivan Reitman supernatural comedy on Activision NES with its team tracking ghosts in haunted New York. The representation alternates team economic management, Ecto-1 driving and specter capture in an original film license formula. Criticized for clumsy adaptation, curiosity of the 8 bit Activision catalog.

Collector interest

Activision's American NES pressing circulated in large numbers, keeping its value modest despite the film licence's fame. A complete box and manual surface more readily here than on the Japanese or European versions, so this often becomes the first Ghostbusters entry in an NES set. The appeal rests on movie recognition rather than print scarcity, and the title stays affordable across grades.
