Okay, so Real Ghostbusters on Game Boy is exactly what it sounds like—you grab your proton pack (well, pixelated version of one) and go ghost hunting. The first level throws you right into a haunted hotel, and honestly, those little 8-bit spooks are weirdly charming. You’ve got the whole crew—Venkman, Stantz, the gang—each with slightly different stats, though I usually just stuck with Peter because, come on, it’s Bill Murray in tiny digital form.

The controls take a second to get used to—you’re juggling traps, dodging floating chairs, and trying not to get zapped by Slimer’s cousins. It’s janky in that classic Game Boy way, but once you get the rhythm down, blasting ghosts into a trap feels oddly satisfying. And yeah, the music’s got that chiptune Ghostbusters theme stuck in your head for days.

It’s not the deepest game, but if you grew up with the movies or the cartoon, there’s something weirdly magical about seeing it all shrunk down to fit in your pocket. Just don’t expect a masterpiece—it’s pure, dumb fun with a side of nostalgia.
