MiSTer FPGA - Ghostbusters 2 / NES (Famicom)
0Another Discord recommendation here. This one is pretty mediocre, though I do enjoy it more than the NES version of the first Ghostbusters. I'll have a video of my favorite version of that one shortly. The theme song is well done here with the NES audio hardware.
I wasn't able to make it very far and honestly I don't find the gameplay of "avoid the random bouncing crap" very compelling in the on-foot stages. The gun control is not very intuitive as well, commonly making you accidentally change gunfire direction and get killed as a result. I found you can kind of cheese it through these parts by firing at the closest angle to vertical without firing directly up, and running at the same time. this effectively doubles your weapon with an upward and downward fire stream while you move, but can make dodging the bouncing stuff a bit difficult if you become too focused on the enemies you are shooting at.
A different version called "New Ghostbusters II" was released in Europe and Japan, but never made it to the US because of licensing issues. That one I haven't tried yet, but look forward to giving a go sometime soon. If it's decent then you can expect a video for it at some point.
