Description:
This is a complete modification of the US version of Ghostbusters on the NES.
- Overhauled graphics (99% original. Character sprites and Slimer adapted from The New Ghostbusters 2 on the Famicom).
- Doubled performance on many sections of the game.
- Much improved gameplay/controls everywhere.
- Heavily rebalanced game design.
- Countless bugs fixed.
The Mapper has been modified from 3 to 66 and rom was expanded by 32000 bytes to accommodate the new voice.
New in version 1.1:
- Added cheat code for easy mode (start with $10k) and easy mode ending. A+B+Start at the title or lyrics screen. A sound cue replaces the Ghostbusters yell, confirming it.
- Added visual feedback for PKE penalty when a ghost enters the Zuul building.
- Updated title screen to include “The Real”, “Visit” and version number.
- Code for building infection completely rewritten for stability, reliability and balance.
- Fixed correlation of blinking buildings and buildings that contain ghosts (buildings used to secretly have ghosts and not blink).
- Slightly reduced ghost speed on higher PKE levels.
- Can’t enter Zuul building just by reaching 9000+ PKE anymore.
- Fixed fuel barrel hitbox.
- Better car control.
- Slightly increased sound generator efficiency.
- Faster parking on GBHQ.
- Marshmallow Man’s animation speed increased when destroying buildings.
- Fixed sign graphics for floor 16.
- Ghosts inside Zuul move a lot faster towards food now.
- Fixed bug where you could “enter” a road, loading to the gas station.
- Proper graphics for destroyed buildings after coming back to the city map from another scene.
- City buildings color coded: purple buildings (non destroyed) can be infected.
- Some items are now fully refundable.
- Added “REFUND” subtitle under respective items.
- Fixed the bug where the game would pause when holding the B button on the map. The unexpected pause looked like a crash.
- Fixed HUD glitch when reaching the top of Zuul Building.
- Can no longer enter empty or destroyed buildings.
- Fixed bug where it wouldn’t refuel at the gas station if on zero cash.
Known problems:
- After laying the ghost food ghosts will move for a little while before being attracted to it.
- When capturing ghosts on the road section, if the player runs out of gas the captured ghosts will respawn on the map screen.
- On the road section sometimes ghosts or bonus money sprites can get stuck while parking.
- The HUD will not update when a gameover is reached or when scrolling messages. Gameover will trigger on 9999 PKE as normal, though it may not display the updated value in those cases.
