You can shoot at Slimer to get a refill on health or energy, however. These take energy, however, which it is limited. For starters, you start off with your proton pack and trap, so that's great, second, there's food to eat and bombs to buy to clear the screen of stuff in a pickle, and third off, there are different types of weapons you can buy for different situations. However, there are a ton of new stuff you can buy. Yes, you have to buy your weapons from somewhere, because clearly the Ghost Busters can't make their own equipment, being the only team in the field of ghost busting. Each mini-boss can be captured if you are skilled enough to get it in the trap after it has been defeated for a nice income boost. Each level is filled with a mini boss or two, and several possess items and ghosts for you to defeat. There are four levels that you can pick much like in the style of Mega Man, but there's clearly a level of difficulty to each stage. The story is very basic, but at least it's good for a Ghost Busters game.
The story is that New York has been infested with ghosts, and the Ghost Busters have to go in and sort the problem out. it's not the best game, but as a game at least, it's pretty fun. Ghost Busters for the Sega Genesis, it's the best retro style game of the lot.
Would it kill them to make a game that had a side scrolling aspect, with several enemies that were possessed by ghosts in which you needed to use your proton back to either destroy or capture, with mini-bosses and forgiving game play and stuff like that? Thankfully, a Ghost Busters game like that does in fact exist. Unimaginative and incredibly dull graphics, tasteless and flat music, irritating and stiff/chunky game play, that's a Ghost Busters game for you. If you have played the other games before, then you'll know how terrible they are.
