Ghostbusters on NES (I think a very similar game came out on other contemporary systems). While the Mega Drive ghostbusters game was hard but it was worth playing, I don't understand what they were thinking with this one. (What were they thinking?) For people who have played it, back then or now, do you think it has any redeeming qualities? The only thing I can think of is the AVGN episode that came out of it.

Still hasn't been. Today it's called "shovelware"

Wait. Sudden thought, is it called like that cause it's produced and pushed out en masse, or is it a reference to all the copies of the game that were buried back then? 🤔

I'm 42 and literally never had that thought! Holy fuck.
