Introduce
Players take on the role of one of the legendary Ghostbusters team members in The Real Ghostbusters for the Game Boy Color. The primary objective is to capture ghosts and supernatural entities causing chaos throughout the city.
The game features a top-down perspective, allowing players to move freely through various levels, from haunted houses and museums to urban streets.
The player's primary weapon is the "Proton Pack," an energy device used to weaken and hold ghosts in place. Once a ghost is sufficiently weakened, players need to deploy a "Ghost Trap" to permanently capture them. This process requires precise aiming and timing, especially when dealing with multiple ghosts simultaneously or fast-moving spirits.
In addition to ghost hunting, players must also collect support items such as energy for their Proton Pack, health (HP) for recovery, or other special items that help overcome obstacles.
Each level typically requires capturing a certain number of ghosts or defeating a final boss. Bosses often have unique attack patterns and weaknesses, requiring players to discover appropriate strategies.
The game's graphics have a cartoonish style, faithfully recreating the atmosphere of the original animated series. The sound also contributes to a thrilling and sometimes humorous ghost-hunting experience.
The Real Ghostbusters offers a simple yet engaging action-adventure experience, suitable for fans of the series and those who enjoy classic ghost-hunting games.
