I just watched my first episode of Deadliest Warrior last night, and it got me thinking that suppose we were to pit the Real Ghostbusters against Filmation's Ghostbusters and compare the equipment, strategies, and enemies encountered of both teams. Since we don't have a sophisticated game engine to simulate 1,000 busts, we could just debate and come to an educated and purely "evidenced-based" conclusion on who's the best 'buster.
Rules: only characters, equipment, and adversaries from the RGB/filmation episodes that aired. References and sources can come from wikis such as Filmations: http://filmationghostbusters.wikia.com/ ... sters_Wiki or RGBs: http://ghostbusters.wikia.com/wiki/The_ ... ostbusters. Scoring can take either a qualitative or quantitative approach, just be sure to back it up with what was seen in an episode.
Filmation's Ghostbusters vs. the Real Ghostbusters
Filmation's team: Jake Kong, Eddie Spencer, and Tracy the Gorilla
Filmation's equipment: the Dematerializer, the Spectre Snare, the Ecto-Strobe, the Ghostbuggy
Filmation's adversaries: Prime Evil
RGB team: Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore
RGB equipment: the Proton Pack, the Ghost Trap, the PKE meter, the Ecto-1
RGB adversaries Sam Hain
Let's start off with something easy:
Ecto-Strobe vs. the PKE Meter
Ecto-Strobe

Ecto-Strobe: A device that, when flashed intermittently, could detect recent ghost and supernatural activity. It could also be used to temporarily stun or blind ghosts. Often made cases a bit too easy. The Ecto-Strobe reveals the ecto residue of a ghost.
PKE Meter
The P.K.E. meter functioned just like in the movie, and was used all the time to track down ghosts, demons, and supernatural events. One bad side effect to it was it could explode if exposed to a very big supernatural event. In "Ghosts R Us" the PKE meter can tell how intelligent a ghost is.
