It seems silly now, but nothing filled me with more anxiety than this game when I was kid. The stress when everything sped up, the ghosts were zipping to the Zuul building out of control, red flashing everywhere. But nothing compared to the sheer terror of the ghosts rushing to form the marshmallow man before I could blindly scramble for the 'B' key.

This game is legendary. I loved this back in the day. I got goosebumps when the city started flashing red lol

David Crane is truly a visionary and a master of programming and design. He was untouchable back then

It's amazing how playable this seems compared to the NES version.

I don't think I ever got past the Staypuff Marshmellow Man at the end when I played this as a kid. Now when I watch it, it seems simple.

This has aged surprisingly well compared to a lot of the era.

One of The ultimate C-64 games.

RIP Ted i still miss you we had such happy times with the Commodore 64 in the early 80s you were ahead of your time for an old man

Reading through the comments it is good to see so much love still for this game and the C64 itself in 2020. Iv still got my C64 set up next to my PS4. And I still play this game alot. Iv got a whole page of codes in a notepad to continue with previously made credits. Thank for uploading this vid

God this game was ahead of its time. So much fun but that dam state puff getting between legs got me every time.

That laugh in the beginning.

Quite possibly the most flawless run ever.

Never beat this game. Used to play it when I was 7 or 8. Happy memories

"Many people remember the title screen of Ghostbusters more than the game itself. Artist Hilary Mills drew a perfect Ghostbusters logo, and the late Russell Lieblich made an instrumental arrangement of the Ghostbusters theme song. Unable to leave it at that, I engineered speech for the C64 in order to enable the game to yell 'Ghostbusters! Add the song lyrics and a follow-the- bouncing-ball animation, and the title screen became one of the most memorable parts of the game." -- David Crane, designer and programmer

the "Ghostbusters!" voice sounds infinitely better here than it did on Nintendo, the little laugh at the end was a nice touch too

I remember how thrilled was when I've first heard the synthesized "Ghostbuster" voice of this :) Could never complete the game but that's no surprise because I could barely understand English back then.

I was never able to make it past the Marshmallow Man either.

This is my early childhood on a floppy disk.

This game was life.

my childhood memories just flashed back :-) we really enjoyed playing Commodore 64 games. Hard to believe for today's high definition playstation kids, right? I think our imagination offset bad graphics.

Listening to "Ghostbusters" every Halloween always brings me back to playing this game as a kid.

Good that you didn't have to deal with getting gas or beating the drunk drivers, OR that long tedius climb up the stairs in the Zuul building.

You know the clicking b part always eluded me to this day. Now I am going to complete the game for the first time.

I loved this game! My saddest memory is when I finally beat it. I went to tell my dad and sister, who also played it. Neither believed me and they told me to stop lying. I was devastated.

Could played this for hours...It never gets boring! One of the best movie adaption at this time !!!

Until this very day, there has yet to be a superior Ghostbusters game or anything like it. It was perfect, the management part of it, the job part of it, the storyline part of it, and the trap gameplay was AMAZING!

I loved this game!! I played it all the time.

One thing I always liked about this game that I didn’t know when I was a child and my sister, brother and I used to play it on our C64 is what a great demonstration it is of the limited amount of notes you could hear from that computer and how innovative the programming of the soundtrack was. The first couple of times remember watching them play the game interpretation of the theme music sounded kind of silly.

Forgot how fun this game was. Ten years old, up till 3am to beat the game. Castle wolfenstein, summer olympics, beach head. Too fun.

OMG, I was screaming at my tv screen as he waited for the buildings to turn red. If you find a purple one, drive to it and catch your yellow ghosts. By the time you arrive, Slimer will be there or not and there is no driving time,

I remember getting so good at this game I was able to buy the exotic sports car--it got to the buildings in no time! To make it that far you don't have time to fool around with the streams--just release the trap as soon as the ghost gets near it.

[bad now, good for the time ghostbusters theme chiptune rendition intensifies]

I played this game all the time as a kid! Man, some great memories! 👍

I played this game as a little kid every chance I got. Even input the 600 characters long code you get to take your vehicle into other games so I could eventually upgrade everything and beat the game.

My all-time favourite game, this. I played it on the Spectrum though.

I never reached the end of the game. Mr. Stay Puff always clobbered the city.

I didn't even know you could win!!! I finally beat impossible mission. Looks like I'll have to give this a try as an adult now!

Oh, Egon Spengler. Yes, I always used that name when I played this game back then. I actually spent two hours today playing this game. Never managed to sneak more than one guy padt the marshmallow man, but I worked up $83100 for my next game.

I remember playing the hell out of this as a kid. It was an inherited copy (possibly pirated) and had zero instructions with it. I always wound up broke with a ruined city, but had fun anyway.

I used to play this for hours at my cousin's house back in the day.

boy im glad i never made it to the end.. that would have been so disappointing..

Damn. 5K for saving the city! Tight! ;-)

I remember being at a computer fair back in the 80s and seeing this and thinking that the music was out of this world.

You do not need to wait until a building is flashing to start to drive there. That's the whole purpose of buying this detector.

Dang...so that was the object of the game...I didnt realize you had to stop those ghosts ....We used to just play this without even knowing how to play.

Holy cow, I played this thing all the time on an old Apple computer.

This is awesome I'm thinking about trying to buy a copy for my c64

I loved to play this videogame

When I discovered David Crane made the Ghostbusters game I was, "Wait, what? That piece of crap?" I'm glad to see the original version is MUCH better than the Japanese ported NES game.

Damn how many people used to play this game back in the day as a kid just at the very end to get stomped to death by the marshmallow Man.

I use to love this as a kid. It got proper tense when everything was flashing red on screen with the ghosts flying in from all directions. God I used to get pissed when I hit B too early ...thinking about it I remember just wanting to get off the map screen as soon as poss lol . I'd even go to a building when it wasn't flashing 😄

Loved this game...

A classic!, And always will be!

I have played that game endless when I was a child.

Oh, the memories.

I loved updating the car lol

Lol I've wondered for over 30yrs how I was meant to play this game as a kid.

This looks and plays a lot better than the NES game.

I remember playing this on a Tandy PC when I was a kid.

I can't remember if the high-performance car was pink or not, but this is the only car you can't buy on your first playthrough because it's too expensive. If you beat the game, you can afford to buy it the next time you play.

After turning off the computer it was still possible using the account for the next game. You only have to make sure, that it is more than the money at the start of the game. The „station wagon“ was great, but the „high performance“ was only for some fun with speed. If you have the „PK Energy Detector“ you could get $900 per ghost instead of only $200.

I had a copy of this game years ago & it had a Space Invaders style game that you played while the game was loading, what is funny is that if you fail to catch a ghost it will come down & slime you & you would hear a voice saying "He slimed me".
