There have been a lot of Ghostbusters games released for various video game consoles over the years. But I can say with confidence that Ghostbusters II for the Game Boy is the absolute best one out there. And sadly, many of you have probably never played it. To put it simply, Ghostbusters II is basically an action-puzzler that looks a lot like the Ghostbusters are in the Mother universe. And there's good reason for that -- Ghostbusters II was developed by Hal Labs, a fact that may have already sent some of you off to eBay to purchase a copy of this cartridge.

The game is amazingly well put together. You choose any two of the four Ghostbusters and then you're off to catch some ghosts. The controls are very unique, as you are responsible for controlling two characters at once -- one to zap the ghosts and the other to suck it up. This takes some getting used to, but if anything it's refreshingly original. The levels are basically maze-like with the goal being simply to suck up all the ghosts from every room within the time limit. Although it's rather simple in theory, it's an extremely well thought out game. Ghostbusters II is exceptional, and I'd urge every Game Boy collector out there to own a copy.
