Play Extreme Ghostbusters Online

Extreme Ghostbusters came out for the Game Boy Color in 2001, developed by Light and Shadow Productions. It was part of that wave of games based on cartoons, a common sight on the handheld at the time. You step into the shoes of the new team from the animated series, taking on ghostly threats across New York City.

You control one of four rookie Ghostbusters, switching between them to use their unique proton packs. Your main goal is to explore the city, screen by screen, and clear each area of spectral activity. You trap ghosts by wearing them down with your beam and then catching them, a process that requires careful positioning. The game is structured around finding keys and solving simple puzzles to unlock new districts, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly during boss encounters. It feels like a straightforward, sometimes challenging run through a haunted version of the city.
