Description

The game allows up to two or three players depending on the version. The objective of the game is to fight your way through each of 10 levels, capturing and storing ghosts along the way. The end of each level features one or more guardians who, when defeated, will yield a key allowing the player(s) to exit that level. The characters are armed with both guns and Proton Beams. Creatures can be shot with either weapon to transform them into ghosts. The ghosts can then be zapped with the proton beam to store them in the player's backpack. Ammunition for the gun is unlimited, while the proton beam has a limited charge which is displayed at the top of the screen. When two
proton beams are crossed, it will combine into an even more powerful proton beam.

The two player version does not have a gun, the proton beam is your only offensive weapon. The game started as Meikyu Hunter G with many gameplay differences that was modified into Ghostbusters.
