Ghostbusters (NES) review

Ghostbusters on the NES is a piece of franchise history more than a modern recommendation. DKOldies lists the used cartridge at $36.99 and describes it as an original Nintendo NES game, cartridge only, in the action adventure genre, rated Everyone, for one player, for NTSC consoles in the US and Canada. DKOldies says every used cartridge is cleaned, tested and backed by a 1-year warranty. It is about half the list price of the Genesis cartridge and works on original NES hardware. It ranks low because it needs an old console and offers far less than the modern games for more money than Spirits Unleashed. Buy it to complete an NES shelf or to see where the franchise started on Nintendo hardware. We compared retailer listings and published prices only and did not test the cartridge.
