Ghostbusters
Commodore 64 · 1984
About this game
Ghostbusters is an action game that features an overhead-view and a side-view.
From Ghostbusters HQ, the player must monitor a map of midtown Manhattan for "ghost alarms", as well as for casual, roaming spirits, and plot a route to the alarmed area.

Once the route is plotted, the player then controls the purchased Ghostmobile as it drives through traffic.
Here, the player is able to capture casual ghosts on the way if they are en route.
When the haunted location is reached, the game switches to a side-view.
Two of the Ghostbusters will take position, activate their proton beams, and toss a trap to the ground.
The player must then use the two Ghostbusters to attempt to lead the ghost(s) over the placed trap.
Once activated, the trap springs to capture any ghosts directly above it.
A successful capture will earn the player money, which can then be used to purchase new Ghostbusters vehicles and new modifications for it.
An unsuccessful capture will see the ghost fly away (after nastily sliming one of the Ghostbusters).
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Ghostbusters for Commodore 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Ghostbusters to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This C64 release dates back to 1984.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
