What a blast from the past! I have some memory of the stuff you did as SadJason. Looking forward to how this turns out but my interest is peaked.

Looks like your using Chrono Trigger sprites as a basis? PM me if you need help with sprite editing some sprites.

The sprites actually started off as an edit of
Alien Syndrome for the NES then I was inspired
Magic of Scheherazade so I reworked the heads. I'm actually thinking of dropping some of the colors from the Character sprites to bring them more inline with the NES inspiration. Thoughts?

Keep the colors. Unless you plan on having them start off in tan suits and get colored uniforms as they grab power ups.

Here's a shot of the "talking heads" used in cut-scenes.

So, who's interested in helping me test out some of the game mechanics?
There's not much to it right now, but you can shoot, score, get slimed and lose.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I like the music. It could loop better.
I kinda wish you could shoot diagonally. I imagine they'll be upgrades or different weapon pick ups as the build progresses?
Are you supposed to be able to get outside of the map? There's a book case in the top right corner of the house I just walked through (you can shoot it too, I see) and I got on the other side of the walls and walked around the map.
I didn't get hit my first play and killed everything in the house- I guess nothing is supposed to happen, yet? I reset and died on purpose to see what happened. The slimed animation is nice. I look forward to seeing more ghosts/creatures. The thing in the shrubs was cool
Kind of reminds me of Zombies Ate My Neighbors (loved that game). Keep going, man. I'm sure there's a lot of ideas you have yet to implement. Seems like a good foundation to build on.

Man, I tested yesterday and I loved it! I can't wait to see this complete!
By the way, I discovered how to get outside the house! XD

Lol, I forgot I left the bookcase in the test file.
*Spoiler* That's how you'll (eventually) get to the next part of the mission.

Good Job. Nice Ecto-1
The Top down RPG stile is nice but feels easy seeing ware the ghost are.
"In the Kitchen I thought the oven was going to come get me."
Love the hunted Bush, I feel like that was a big part of RGB not being able to find all the ghost and needing the PKE meter to Hunt them down but in a NES game that may just not be a good idea. You could always toy with a weapon or equipment select box if there is room.
The only part i did not Love was the Proton Pack firing Sound.
All in all its your Game Build and its cool to see it at all at this point.

Good start. What software are you using to build this?
A couple of suggestions:
Interaction with the Ecto 1: Once you make money you can purchase upgrades via calling Janine by entering the car instead of walking through it?
Ghosts: Arms coming out of the wall. Book Bats.
I agree that you should use another firing sound. The laser from contra would be a good option I think.
