In this episode of Retro Flashback, I take a look at Ghostbusters for the Commodore 64. A really cool mix of strategy, financial management and minigames, this game was made in only 6 weeks with very little knowledge at the time of the movie or what it was about. Simplistic by today's standards, this is still amazingly fun and is a testament to the incredible, multi-faceted talents of David Crane. It's still one of my favourite Commodore 64 games and one of my favourite games of all time.

Ghostbusters is not currently available for digital purchase but was released on a number of home computer platforms as well as getting a poorly translated port to the NES.
