The Real Ghostbusters Remastered

This is a complete modification of the US version of Ghostbusters on the NES. Overhauled graphics (99% original. Character sprites and Slimer adapted from The New Ghostbusters 2 on the Famicom). Doubled performance on many sections of the game. Much improved gameplay/controls everywhere. Heavily rebalanced game design. Countless bugs fixed. The Mapper has been modified from 3 to 66 and rom was expanded by 32000 bytes to accommodate the new voice. New in version 1.1: Added cheat code for easy mode (start with $10k) and easy mode ending. A+B+Start at the title or lyrics screen. A sound cue replaces the Ghostbusters yell, confirming it. Added visual feedback for PKE penalty when a ghost enters the Zuul building. Updated title screen to include “The Real”, “Visit” and version number. Code for building infection completely rewritten for stability, reliability and balance. Fixed correlation of blinking buildings and buildings that contain ghosts (buildings used to secretly have ghosts and not blink). Slightly reduced ghost speed on higher PKE levels. Can’t enter Zuul building just by reaching 9000+ PKE anymore. Fixed fuel barrel hitbox. Better car control. Slightly increased sound generator efficiency. Faster parking on GBHQ. Marshmallow Man’s animation speed increased when destroying buildings. Fixed sign graphics for floor 16. Ghosts inside Zuul move a lot faster towards food now. Fixed bug where you could “enter” a road, loading to the gas station. Proper graphics for destroyed buildings after coming back to the city map from another scene. City buildings color coded: purple buildings (non destroyed) can be infected. Some items are now fully refundable. Added “REFUND” subtitle under respective items. Fixed the bug where the game would pause when holding the B button on the map. The unexpected pause looked like a crash. Fixed HUD glitch when reaching the top of Zuul Building. Can no longer enter empty or destroyed buildings. Fixed bug where it wouldn’t refuel at the gas station if on zero cash.
