Hello!

The 3 original writers who while not wanting to make a movie, are quite happy to write out the story for the game?

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Woo! (assuming it's not shit)

Is this likely to be based on that unofficial video that was released this(?) year?

I really hope that they use the writers for the comedy and not the gameplay. As funny as they are, a shit game is a shit game and it'd be so easy for the designers to make a half-arsed attempt at a game because it'll sell on the strength of the celebrity writers.

this had better be good! and i do look forward to crossing the streams in co-op for comedy effect.

Oh man, co-op could be the best thing since win.

The first game was okay, but the second one had an impossibly hard early level, so I never saw anything beyond that. They were both on the C64.

I played the first on the Speccy. It was hard as nails (possibly because I was about 10). I could only ever afford a Beetle and about 2 traps, and Zul always seemed to turn up after I'd failed to catch about three ghosts.

I ruled at the first one (Amstrad CPC6128 Fo Lyfe!) But never managed to get past the first level in GBII (The 'abseil into the pink goo past the big grabby hands' level, or 'Level 1' to its friends) Did it get better?

By "early level" I meant Level 1, so I have no idea. Infact I'm not even sure I got as far as the pink goo.

I can't beliebe that you lot remember level detail of games you were playing on teh speccy and C64

I have trouble remembering my way to work

<- can I have one of these with a stick in his hand for rattling at youngsters (although you're not if you were playing speccy games, unless you're severe nerds and were playing them in 1995)

was the speccy/C64 game like the Amiga one, where the first level was to send Ray down and collect some of the pink slime, whilst avoiding the slimers and other things flying at you.

Because yes. THAT LEVEL WAS FREAKING HARD. My dad, ONCE got past that level, to the Statue of liberty walking level after that but got pwned.

Insane game. Also, NEW Ghostbusters 2 on the NES was fucking awesome.

News of new game pleases me greatly :D Can't wait.

ZMOGS!

Edit: Fails, no controls for up/down/left/right/fire so I can't set up the car

I started at the top left and pressed every key on the keyboard, somewhere around 4 it freed up the joystick controls. It crashes the first time you go to a house, though.

?

I have a really shit memory for computer games (and football matches coincidentally), so all I remember from the Spectrum was Manic Miner and Jetpac.

I do remember Spectrum games being ball crunchingly difficult, but I always assumed that was because I was young and retarded.
