Ghostbusters on NES (I think a very similar game came out on other contemporary systems). While the Mega Drive ghostbusters game was hard but it was worth playing, I don't understand what they were thinking with this one. (What were they thinking?) For people who have played it, back then or now, do you think it has any redeeming qualities? The only thing I can think of is the AVGN episode that came out of it.

Seconded. I played this on the C64 for a month or so. The intro voice saying Ghostbusters and laughing was pretty surprising given the tech (Impossible Mission also had really good voice samples but you had to complete the whole game to hear the best ones). I also enjoyed watching the bouncing ball on the lyrics (and one of my parents told me about Mitch Miller doing the same kind of thing decades before that).
