PlayStation · 1997
About this game
Ghost in the Shell is a 3D shooter based on the original comic by Masamune Shirow rather than Mamoru Oshii's film.
The story is set in the future and focuses on a team of policemen led by the female cyborg Major Motoko Kusanagi, which fights technology-related crimes.

The player takes the role of a new member in Kusanagi's anti-terrorist squad and gets to accomplish missions on the Fuchikoma, a spider-like AI equipped tank.
During the course of the twelve missions a plot starts to surface concerning a giant skyscraper, the Aereopolis II.
The Fuchikoma can be controlled from either third- or first-person view.
It is permanently equipped with a machine gun, homing missiles (which are activated by holding the attack button), and limited supplies of grenades; there are no other weapons or tools in the game.
The Fuchikoma can also jump, strafe, stick to the walls, climb on them, and even move on the ceilings.
Missions mostly take place in enclosed outdoor or indoor areas and often involve destroying specified targets.
Two of the missions are rail-shooting sequences.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Ghost in the Shell for PlayStation 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 Ghost in the Shell 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 PS1 release dates back to 1997.
