When I first got my commodore 64, I was given a choice between pitfall and ghostbusters.

After I trapped my first ghoulie, I knew I made the right choice.

iceman064427d ago

I had the Commodore 128d and when I finally got Ghostbusters...well...let' s just say that the disk basically stayed in the drive.

What a trip down memory lane. My brother and I were the only kids in our neighborhood that bought the SMS while all our friends had the NES. The selection of games for us were few compared to that of the NES and Ghostbusters easily stood out as our favorite SMS game. I wish I still had it.

Awww man i had this on my C64 great game wasnt much good at it but i tryed..
After waiting 10min for game to load lol. Best days R.I.P Harold Ramis Hes was the brains behind the film too. Anyone know when the new ghostbusters film be our or is it canned now?

iceman064427d ago

There were several articles, after Ramis passed away, saying that it is still on and supposed to actually be shooting already. They were STILL trying to get the "old gang" back for at least some cameo work. So, I guess, we shall see. You never really know with Hollywood. I just hope they don't take yet another fresh dump on my childhood!!! LOL

hiredhelp4427d ago

That be great if theyve got enough to make film. If not i rather they leave it thx buddy

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi64d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer65d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot65d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno65d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay65d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno63d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK63d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
