The computer games, developed by Foursfield and Dynamix, focuses on three scenes in particular: Ray descending into the sewers to collect mood slime for analysis, the Ghostbusters marching the Statue of Liberty over to the art museum to create a way in, and the quartet defeating Vigo the Carpathian with a combination of mood slime and their proton packs. The NES version from Imagineering, meanwhile, has a series of side-scrolling stages that include driving sequences in the Ecto-1 and the Statue of Liberty.</p><p>The game is not to be confused with <a href="/new-ghostbusters-ii/3030-1338/" data-ref-id="3030-1338">New Ghostbusters II</a>, which was released by HAL Laboratory on NES and Game Boy in the same year (the Game Boy version dropped the "New" in the title, leading to some ambiguity). </p><p> </p><p> </p>
