Dont get me wrong, I would LOVE a proper Ghostbusters video game (Lego or not). That’s my favorite part of Lego Dimensions, it’s the BEST GB1 video game ever made. So whether it’s a Lego game or not, I would LOVE to see a proper GB1 and GB2 story done in video game form.

Just to be clear GBTVG is the BEST Ghostbusters video game imo, but Lego Dimensions is the best GB1 game to date.

Even better than

![image](http://www.defunctgames.com/pic/review-ghostbusterssms-big-2.jpg)

? I’m shocked … shocked I tell you! … Ok I’m not shocked at all 😂

Yeah Ghostbusters 1 on Lego dimensions was great (no it bugs me ecto 1 toy only had two wheels lol) it played fantastic. So did the ATC storypack which I think is even better. (If you haven’t played it the only reason I said better is it please pretty much the same but it’s longer made up of multiple levels.) But a full Lego ghostbusters would be great yeah.

Yeah ghostbusters the videogame is my favourite too but I’d love a Lego game with all 4 movies when this new one is out (they get bonus points for me if they do a DLC of contents and comics)

Hell now telltales back I’d love a ghostbusters game like that.

To be fair though, the Master System version of that game (which is the pick you posted) is pretty good. Of the games based on GB1 that got released (Sega Master System, NES, and Atari 2600) the Sega game is pretty enjoyable. The Atari version isnt bad either considering how primitive it is. The Nintendo version might be the worst of the 3.

I collect video games (games, consoles, etc) so I do feel I’m fairly knowledgable about such things. I actually have an actual arcade machine with all of these games on it as well

(My 4 year old plays them daily, lol). Besides the newer games (2000 onwards), I rate them as follows (not counting EGB games). It’s just my opinion of course

1. [Real Ghostbusters Arcade game](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/real-ghostbusters-arcade)

2. Ghostbusters Sega Master System

3. Ghostbuster Genesis/Mega Drive

4. Ghostbusters 2 PC game

5. New Ghostbusters 2 NES

6. Ghostbusters Atari 2600

7. Ghostbusters 2 NES

8. Ghostbusters NES

9. [Real Ghostbusters](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/the-real-ghostbusters-activison) Gameboy

I didn’t like the version of two I had on the Amiga. That lower into sewer on rope level annoyed me.

Games based on the first movie I like the megadrive version. The master system and nes ones I liked but appreciate they weren’t that good in my opinion. We had a version on the Amiga too and I remember it being like this one but more broken (not sure if that’s a real version or if that was a bootleg version as I hardly see the Amiga version mentioned)

But I just making good just because those games weren’t that good in my opinion but the Lego one was really really good.

I’ve actually never owned or played anything on the amiga. So I cant comment on that one, consoles and arcades are more my specialty.

The new Ghostbusters 2 for Gameboy is underated. Different levels then the PAL NES GB2, a little more polished, both great. Sega master and Genesis version are a must play.

On my Christmas wish list would be a Ghostbusters re skin of Spiderman Ps4. Seems like all the hard work is already done. An [Ecto goggles](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-ecto-goggles) game seems perfect for VR

Interesting you should say that because I know someone working at Hasbro who said they’re indeed working on a “Black Series” of GB replicas. Not sure if they’ll have the label, though. They saw some of the prototypes I believe for the thrower.

That game was well dreary on the Amiga. On the Atari ST, however, it was a good time! **#teamatarievenin2019whenitcouldntmatterless**

Looks like Hasbro is going to attend both the U.K and German toy fairs…

[https://www.toyfair.co.uk/exhibitor-list-2019/?l=H](https://www.toyfair.co.uk/exhibitor-list-2019/?l=H)

Think there’s a chance of some GB toys being shown?

@ Prime 1986 Yes, I would say that it is likely that Hasbro intends to show of their new Ghostbusters items at these shows. When DST was producing action figures, they typically made debuted the prototypes at Toy Fair in [New York City](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/new-york-city) and similar events. I am very excited to see what they have to show us. Plus as a G.I. Joe fan, I think that it is great that the brand will be returning in a new scale.

Plasma series will be the equivalent to black series. Six characters, 8 figures, so 2 duplicates in wave 1. The OGBs will be 4 of them. The youtuber guesses that the other 2 will be from [Afterlife](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ghostbusters-afterlife), but my guess would be 2 of Louis, Janine, Dana, Gozer, [Slimer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/slimer), Stay Puft, or Vigo. I have my doubts they would mix Afterlife into this first wave that comes out in early June.

Thoughts?

I am not surprised at all that about another promotion with Hostess brands. From what I recall the 2016 promotion was quite popular with the public. Getting back to the toy/ collectible side of things, Toy Fair in [New York City](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/new-york-city) is February 22. Hasbro as been confirmed as a presenter, so I would imagine their Ghostbusters product line would debut here.

I wonder if they have considered releasing figures based on the IDW Comic designs? I think they’d look pretty neat, plus there are the additional characters they could add in a 2nd or third wave (New Ghostbusters, GhostSmashers, etc) 🆒
