You want to see the Famicom version of Ghostbusters, you think the NES version as a mangled ending, the Japanese one just spits out gibberish, then crashes!!! Oh, the Master Ststem version was released at least a year before the NES version, so any borrowing would have been the other way around.

The Master System version was one of my first video games. I played it to death. I had to turn off the sound because of that looping music.

Man this really is not my best work in terms of narration. Sorry everyone.

I played first the Atari 2600 one and then the nes one. the Atari one just brings back a lot of memories with my cousins, but the NES was an improvement. didn't know much about the Sega one. that's cool. not surprised about all of the other ports as that was very common in those days.

Just a minor thing... the original movie is from 1984... not 1982.
