Ghosts have invaded Manhattan in New York and it’s the Ghostbusters’ job to liberate the city from these ugly creatures.

Each player takes the role as one of the four members in Ghostbusters, each with their strengths and weaknesses. The goal is to make as much money as possible.

Districts are assigned to players and they are to get to that location and attempt to clear that district of ghosts before they get a new district assigned.

There’s a wide range of inventory that can be purchased throughout the game and aid the players, everything from ghost traps and magical books to the copter Ecto II that can travel great distances in one turn and fly over traffic chaos on the streets.
