Remember the Ghostbusters game for the Nintendo Entertainment System? The one best known nowadays for being torn apart on an early episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd? Well, it’s been remastered!

Do you know what’s really weird? It’s now actually pretty good!

Check it out in our complete playthrough below:

The remastering (or hack) takes key graphics from Famicom’s The New Ghostbusters 2 and makes several key changes to give players a much smoother experience.

A small list of key differences include:

– Overhauled graphics: 99% original. Character sprites and slimer adapted from The New Ghostbusters 2 (Famicom). – Doubled performance on many sections of the game. – Much improved gameplay/controls everywhere. – Heavily rebalanced game design. – Countless bugs fixed.

Truth be told, I never found the NES port of the game all that bad, just slow and poorly executed. Almost like a diamond in the rough, with this remaster finally giving this game its shine.
