New Ghostbusters 2: HAL Laboratory Classic Famicom Title
New Ghostbusters 2 is the licensed ghost-hunting action game published by HAL Laboratory exclusively for the Famicom based on Ghostbusters II. One or two players equip proton packs, exploring haunted locations to trap roaming ghosts and contain the rising spectral threat of Vigo.
Side-scrolling museum, sewer and haunted building stages host varied ghost types. Proton pack energy is limited; players must return to containment units to deposit captured spirits and recharge equipment.
Every major stage concludes with a powerful spectral boss duel. Hidden equipment caches extend available hunting time for thorough explorers.
HAL Laboratory’s moody haunted-building tile graphics and eerie ambient soundtrack recreate the supernatural comedy atmosphere of the Ghostbusters II film.
Strategically, consistent ghost containment requires managing proton energy reserves. Draining all power far from containment stations leaves players defenceless against ghost swarms.
For contemporary Famicom retro Ghostbusters licensed collectors, New Ghostbusters 2 is a respected domestic HAL two-player ghost-hunting curio.
