‘Ghostbusters – Special Edition’ ROM Hack Available Now for Sega Genesis [Video]
Back in December, programmer BillyTime!Games stated that their long-awaited Ghostbusters – Special Edition ROM hack of the Sega Genesis version of Ghostbusters was still very much on the way. And that day arrived last night with the announcement that the romhack is now available for fans to download.
Available at ROMHacking.net, Ghostbusters – Special Edition adds a whack of new content to the game. Most notably, players can now select and play as Ernie Hudson‘s Winston Zeddemore for the first time. The romhack also introduces new costumes for the team for a total of six, as well as new cheat codes and unlockables, and a new save feature!
If that’s not enough, the patch also introduces a new Nightmare Mode difficulty to the game. This mode not only reduces your starting lives to one, but you also have a reduced health cap, no continues, and the cheats that were restored from the Japanese version of the game have been disabled.
Now as we mentioned before, in order to play Ghostbusters – Special Edition, you’ll need to get a copy of the game’s ROM. That’s in the grey area of legality, so you’ll have to do a bit of digging. Once you do, the readme file included with the patch will guide you through how to get things working, as well as detail all of the new goodies for the game.
Now that Ghostbusters – Special Edition is out the door, here’s hoping that BillyTime!Games will jump on Splatterhouse 2, which they alluded to back in March.
GHOSTBUSTERS – SPECIAL EDITION IS OUT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
