Ghostbusters (Atari 2600) review

Ghostbusters on the Atari 2600 is the oldest hardware on this list and the cheapest cartridge. DKOldies lists it at $24.99, with sale prices lower at times, and describes it as a classic video game, game only, in good used condition, tested and working, rated Everyone, for one player, for NTSC consoles in the US and Canada. The store backs it with the same 1-year warranty as its other used games. It ranks last because it needs an Atari 2600 and offers the least depth of any game here. It still has a place for collectors of the console, and the list price is the same as the Remastered game on Steam, which is the better buy for anyone who simply wants to play. We compared retailer listings and published prices only and did not test the cartridge.
