Has anyone seen a ghost
Matter of fact yes they have!
At this very moment hundreds of ghosts are making their way to the infamous spook central.
Only you can save the world from a disaster of biblical proportions. To do this you must make it to the top of the Temple of Zuul. You can only do this when you have killed a large number of ghosts, made more money than you started with, and survived the constant dangers on the streets. So go and show ‘em how you do it downtown!

Zuul temple is at the centre, GHQ at the bottom, building with Slimers flash red. Guide your vehicle to a Slimer, freezing an roamers you meet by touching them, or suck them up into the ghost vacuum by pressing fire, if a roamer gets to Zuul the city’s PK rating jumps by 100. To position yourself at a building above the street press fire, below the streets pull down and press fire.

When you arrive at a site of a disturbance, direct your first ghostbuster toward the centre of the building, press fire to lay a trap, then guide him to the left of the screen and turn him toward the trap. Then guide the second ghostbuster to the right of the screen. Turn him toward the trap and press fire to initialise the negative ioniser stream. Move them inward to the trap the Slimer between the streams, but do not, repeat do no cross the streams. When the Slimer is directly over the trap press fire to capture him.
Every captured Slimer increases your credit rating. Every escaped Slimer adds 300 to the city’s PK level. When a marshmallow alert flashes you must press B to drop bait before he stomps any buildings.
To win you must sneak two ghostbusters into the temple of Zuul before the Gatekeeper and the Keymaster join forces there.
