I compare 27 Games from 1984 to 2016 on 14 different systems, from C64, Gameboy, PC, Playstation and so on. This compilation took me at least 70 hours of work, so gimme a like and subscribe!

I try to show representative gameplay of each ghostbusters game, for example: the puzzle/adventure, research, action, dialogue & driving aspects of the 2009 DS version. But because there are 27 game I can't give them more than 1 minute each (!!!), so I had to make very though decisions what to show and what to leave out.

NOTE 1:
The 2009 versions got more time, especially the PC version, because they have the best Ghostbusters feeling in my opinion :)

NOTE 2:
Why did I compare the 2009 PS2 version with the PC version? Because the PS2 version is much more stylized and the PC version is more realistic.

Chronological order:

1984:
"Ghostbusters" developed by Activision for Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, MSX, NES, PC Booter, Sega Master System, ZX Spectrum

NOTE: because it was made in 1989 and first released in 1992 I included the Atari 2600 version (and because this version is especially ugly...)
