My memory was that it was a fun game. Thanks to the C-64 SID chip, the "Ghostbusters!" voice and music was decent (even though I suppose it got repetitive after a long play). Gameplay was good once you figured out what you were trying to do and prevent, and initially it was slow enough to allow mistakes. I do remember at the end it got basically impossible to keep up, so you would always have an endgame, and I guess I didn't get to that much since I don't remember exactly how that goes without finding a video of it (but of course know how it should go, since I know the movie well).
The music did get repetitive, but that went for any C64 games that had background music. All of the tunes from Ultima IV are still burned into my brain after MONTHS of playing that game.
