Notes: This game obviously involves boxing. Could basically be considered as a combination of “Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!” and “Power Punch II.” It is definitely put together better than the latter, but is not nearly as good as the former.
Notes: Role-playing title similar to the Dragon Warrior games, but with very interesting organization that almost verges on a failure but pulls it off in the end. Quite different than any other role-playing game for the NES. It’s worth checking out.
Notes: Action game based loosely on the movie. Not nearly as good as the Sega Master System version, and definitely more difficult. Capture ghosts until you are able to enter Zuul’s building for the final confrontation.
Notes: Sequel to “Ghostbusters.” Follows the second movie almost exactly and is the unfortunate release given to NTSC audiences. A much better version was released in Europe (“New Ghostbusters II”). Graphics are poor and gameplay is generally terrible.

Notes: Exactly the same as the NTSC version “Ghosts n’ Goblins,” but with an incredibly stupid title alteration for PAL audiences. I wasn’t even going to list this separately, but considering the rules I’ve laid out I had to. Why in the world is “Ghost” in the singular? There are clearly many, many ghosts in this game, not just one. I have no clue what in the hell this alteration is supposed to accomplish. First ninjas, now this.
Notes: Action game, one of the early classics. You control Arthur, and must rescue the princess who was captured by Satan. Taken from the arcade game with chopped down graphics. Notoriously difficult, and not as well put together as the original arcade version.
Notes: A lesser known action/adventure game with a horror atmosphere. You play as a crust punk who must rid his high school of various demons and ghouls to save the cheerleader of his dreams. One of the most depressing endings ever if you watch for a small detail at the end.
Notes: Adventure game based loosely on the TV show. Quite bad and not really worth the time. Find items and do this and that to get to the credits.
