...Of course, there have been Ghostbusters computer games in the past, from the 1984 Activision title, through to 1993's 'Real Ghostbusters' on the Gameboy - however, gamers have had to wait a full sixteen years for this latest version from the Atari studio, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of the film's original release. Simply title 'Ghostbusters: The Video Game', this incarnation of the franchise is without doubt the most lavish to date ... ...in the plot.
