Play New Ghostbusters Ii (europe) Online

New Ghostbusters II came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, developed by HAL Laboratory. It was one of those later NES titles that arrived as the 16-bit era was starting, a game based on the movie sequel that never got a release in North America. You could only play it if you had a European or Japanese console, which made it a bit of an oddity for players elsewhere.

You control the four Ghostbusters, either alone or with a friend in a two-player mode, moving screen by screen through New York City. Your main goal is to hunt down and capture a series of ghosts before a timer runs out. You use the Proton Stream to weaken ghosts, then try to trap them with your ghost trap; some doors are locked, requiring you to find specific keys to progress. The game has a steady pace, but the difficulty comes from managing your limited energy and the ghosts' tricky movement patterns. It feels like a methodical, sometimes tense, hunt where a single mistake can cost you a life.
