Added example(s), General clarification on works content
Taking place after the movie, work has dried up for the Ghostbusters after defeating Gozer. However, a rash of earthquakes has started a new wave of ghost activity, and customers are lining up outside the Ghostbusters HQ desperate to get the spooks out of their homes. The Ghostbusters, eager to earn some money, get back to work. But what is the source of all these ghosts? And what are these strange tablet fragments they keep finding at every job? Can they decipher the script and stop the haunting of New York?
The game itself is a side-scrolling platformer where you explore each stage, blasting ghosts and navigating hazards. You need to find and bust the 'Middle ghost' midbosses before the boss ghost will reveal themselves. You get paid for each stage cleared, plus bonuses for each ghost destroyed and a sizeable bonus for each middle ghost successfully captured. This money is used to buy food to heal yourself and upgrades to your equipment.
