Fan-made Hack Remasters and Improves Original NES ‘Ghostbusters’ Game
For those old-school NES gamers, you probably remember Activision’s Ghostbusters video game. Notorious for its questionable graphics, spotty translation and frustrating gameplay, if you’ve seen the AVGN’s review, you know what to expect. However, much like the 2009 game, and thanks to a group of dedicated fans, it’s been given a remaster. And it’s not just in the graphics department, either. It’s actually playable!
Okay, so it’s more of a romhack than a remaster. NESRocks’ The Real Ghostbusters Remastered as it’s called uses sprites from the PAL/Japanese version of The New Ghostbusters 2 (which again, is superior to the game North American fans got when Ghostbusters 2 was released), as well as having the majority of the graphics being overhauled. The big thing of course is the gameplay, which has been reworked and rebalanced with better controls, and numerous bug fixes.
You can head over to NESRocks’ website for more info on the hack, as well as instructions on how to implement it. Be sure that you have an original copy of the game itself to avoid the, erm, legal issues.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
