Ghostbusters II is an action adventure game made after the famous movie with the same name. One player multi-level Cpc/C64/Spectrum/Amiga/ST remake.
After 300 years, Vigo the Carpathian is back. Go underground to discover a river of slime, rise above it all with the Statue of Liberty & face Vigo at the Museum of Art.
LEVEL 1 - VAN HORNE
You must guide the Ghostbuster to the bottom of the airshaft in order to collect a sample of slime. Swing left and right to collect items from the sides of the shaft, making the Ghostbusters feet touch the items to pick them up.
When a ghost touches the Ghostbuster he will lose courage, this is shown by the silver energy bar top left of the screen. When courage is lost the Ghostbuster will fall.
Three weapons are available and these are selected with fire button 2:- Proton beam, PKR bomb & PKR shield. The PKR bombs can be fired by holding fire button 1 and pressing up or down, when you want the bomb to explode release the fire button.
The winch cable can come under attack from skull monsters that will bite away at the cable until it snaps (the cable strength is shown by the blue energy bar) unless they are destroyed. Depth reached by the Ghostbuster is displayed top left with current weapon and its remaining ammo shown top right of the screen.
In order to collect a sample of the slime the three parts of the retractable scoop must be collected from the sides of the airshaft.
LEVEL 2 - BROADWAY
You must help the Ghostbusters reach the Museum of Art before the birth of the New Year.
The Ghostbusters are in the crown of the Statue of Liberty as it makes its way down Broadway. You control the fireball and must protect the Statue and the population of the city.
The Statue of Liberty is powered by slime and this is represented by a glass jar at the top right of the screen. Every time the Statue is hit by a ghost then the slime will decrease.
You only have a limited number of shots for each fireball and these are shown at the top of the screen. When you run out of shots the fireball dies and a new one is generated by the Statue`s torch. This in turn reduces the amount of slime in the Statue because of the energy needed to create a new one.
When a fireball shoots a ghost the ghost turns into a droplet of slime, the droplets will fall to the pavement below where they will stay for short period of time before dissolving away.
The Statue's slime can be replenished by sending the population backwards and forwards along the road ahead to collect it - fire button 2 toggles left and right. As soon as a man touches a droplet of slime it is automatically transferred to the Statue's supply.
The Ghostbusters II logo in top left corner indicates the distance travelled by the Statue, the nearer the Museum of Art the clearer the logo becomes.
LEVEL 3 - THE MUSEUM
Controlling each of the Ghostbusters you must rescue Dana Barrett's baby Oscar before destroying Vigo the Carpathian.
When abseiling in from the roof, push down to lower the Ghostbusters to the Museum floor.
Select a Ghostbuster by pressing fire button 2 to toggle Venkman, Spengler, Stantz & Zeddemore. The currently selected Ghostbuters face is displayed at the top left of the screen along with their energy and ammo remaining.
Vigo`s energy is shown top right of screen along with Vigo's percentage of transfer to baby.
