Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters is an action game that offers both a top view and a side view. From Ghostbusters headquarters, the player must monitor a map of midtown Manhattan for "ghost alerts" and roaming ghosts and plan a route to the alerted area. Once the route is set, the player controls the purchased ghostmobile as it drives through traffic. In doing so, the player can capture random ghosts along the way if they are on their way. When the haunted location is reached, the game switches to the side view. Two of the Ghostbusters get into position, activate their proton beams and throw a trap on the ground. The player must then try to guide the ghost(s) over the trap with the two ghostbusters. As soon as the trap is activated, it springs open and catches all the ghosts directly above it. A successful catch earns the player money, which they can use to buy new Ghostbusters vehicles and new modifications for them. If the trap is unsuccessful, the ghost flies away (after it has slimed one of the Ghostbusters in a nasty way).
