Games

Ghostbusters has turned up in game form many times over the years: video games, tabletop role playing games, and board games. The interactive history reaches back to the home computers of the mid 1980s, beginning with Activision's tie-in to the original Ghostbusters film, and continues through arcade cabinets, handhelds, mobile titles, and modern console and PC releases such as Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

This section collects the Ghostbusters games documented on GBFans.com, spanning the original films, The Real Ghostbusters cartoon, and the Extreme Ghostbusters spin-off. It also covers the tabletop side of the franchise, including the role playing game West End Games published in 1986 and later re-issued as Ghostbusters International.¹ Most entries put the player behind a Proton Pack and Ghost Trap, the tools that have defined the team since the start.
