Ghostbusters (Sega Genesis) review

Ghostbusters on the Sega Genesis is the strongest of the cartridge-era games on this list, and the store treats it as a collectible: DKOldies files it under Genesis Rare Games and lists it at $69.99, with sale prices lower at times. The listing describes a used, cartridge-only copy in the action adventure genre, rated Everyone, for one player, in the NTSC region for the US and Canada. DKOldies says every used cartridge is cleaned, tested and backed by a 1-year warranty. You can pick a good cartridge or a cosmetically flawed one. It ranks below the modern games because it needs a working Genesis and costs nearly three times the Remastered game. Buy it if you collect 16-bit Sega games or want the original hardware experience. We compared retailer listings and published prices only and did not test the cartridge.
