The Real Ghostbusters was an arcade game based on the cartoon series of the same name released by Data East in 1987. The game was later ported by Activision to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum. Up to three players can control members of the Ghostbusters. The characters are only differentiated by the colors of their uniforms. Outside of that, no effort is made to identify them, although the game's bezel and side art shows the characters from the cartoon. In Japan the game is known as Meikyuu Hunter G, but bears little resemblance to the western version as it did not use the Ghostbusters license. It supports only up to two players, makes no mention of the Ghostbusters, equips the players with different weapons, many of the monsters are different and has completely different level designs from the western version.
