I'll never forget the surprise when opening screen the game loaded, a crystal clear speech of a ghost (I assume) exclaiming "Ghostbusters" followed by a demonic laugh. This lead into a near perfect rendition of the Ghostbusters theme tune from the movie, well, if you excuse the fact there were no vocals.

Ok, so on to business, "we're ready to believe you". The first task was to choose your car and equipment. You had to choose between 3 cars, a beetle, the hearse from the movie or a pink sports car. It seemed that the hearse was the best all rounder as you needed to keep some cash spare for your equipment. Some of the equipment were 'nice to haves' and some were essentials. One essential item was a trap which you needed for capturing the ghosts you caught at each location. You also needed a paranormal detector so you could see where a ghost within the town was most likely to appear.

Once you had caught as many ghosts as you could hold, you would then have to return them back to Ghost HQ before hitting the streets again. As activity got stronger and more intense, you could see the gate keeper and the key master moving faster and faster through the town to try and make that fateful rendezvous. As you no doubt know from the film, once they meet then things really start hotting up.

As you progress, you notice that all of the ghosts seemed to be heading for one location situated in the centre of the city, Zuul. As much as you try to prevent this, eventually things get to hard to handle. The infamous marshmallow man starts to appear and deals huge amounts of damage to buildings through the city. If you'd spent some of your starting money on bait then you could keep him at bay for a while.

However, it would soon get to the point of no return and the gate keeper and key master would finally join forces. Once you found the location of the Stay Puff marshmallow man, then it would be time to pay him a visit. This is where the hardest part of the game presented itself. In order to get to the top of the building of Zuul, you first had to get at least two of your men through the legs of Mr Marshmallow.

If you succeeded to do this then you found yourself at the top of the building. Where you had been trying to avoid "crossing the streamers" throughout the game, now was the time to through caution to the wind and give it a try against all odds...

If you haven't ever had the chance to play this before then check it out, there is also a great remake available on the net. There is now also a sequel to the original game and movie planned for next generation consoles staring the original cast of the movie.

AP - Proving that no good deed goes unpunished, the state's high court on Thursday said a would-be Good Samaritan accused of rendering her friend paraplegic by pulling her from a wrecked car "like a rag doll" can be sued.

With the changing times, the whole aspect of playing games too have undergone a global transformation. Earlier games were categorized into two parts indoor and outdoor games. While outdoor games comprised mainly of games like football, cricket etc. and indoor games included the likes of chess, ludo etc.

But as the time progressed indoor gaming got another name of video games. These games are the games which are played on screen with the help of remote controllers. This revolution in indoor gaming attracted a lot of people and created a pool of them. With changing times, the gaming concept underwent a remarkable change and Nintendo took the advantage of the situation and brought many games into the market. Earlier these games were only meant for age group up to 15. but later on many companies started to bring games that were meant for adults and teenagers too.

But when Nintendo launched Nintendo Wii, a gaming console meant for every video game fanatic, the reaction of indoor game lovers was there to be seen. This gaming console was efficient in every way to play every kind of game, be it 2D or 3D version.

Along with this gaming console there are many accessories such as sports disc, remote, console stand and many other things that also come with it. Also it has a completely different controller which looks much like a remote control of TV. It is the gaming console meant for the entire family.

Earlier this gaming console was not within the reach of every game lover. But Nintendo understood this problem and with their consistent efforts brought down the price of the console considerably and made it every house hold commodity. Earlier the game CDs used to be very costly but Nintendo has brought down the prices of Nintendo Wii games to a reasonable level. Consumer can now buy these games any where as they are now available at cheap price.

It is expected that in future the prices of Nintendo Wii gaming (Nintendo Wii console and cheap Wii games) will come further down because of the rising competition among the gaming consoles manufacturers, who are trying hard to get at the position at which Nintendo is right now. Also the Nintendo company is trying to cut down the prices of its games in an order to make them more cheaper.
