Ghostbusters: The Video Game: Difference between revisions

** Azetlor, the Collector, is a 40-fool long bookworm in the Stylized version.

* [[Badass Boast]]: Egon to Ivo Shandor in the game.

'''Ray''': No, that was good. I like it. }}

** [[Stealth Pun|And it's absolutely true -- assuming they eat marshmallows.]]

* [[Body Surf]]: Later on, {{spoiler|it is revealed that the Mayor had this happen to him with Ivo Shandor.}}

* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: A mild example, Peter has a voice mail that goes, for the most part, like this.

* [[The Can Kicked Him]]: The game has this in the form of a Cursed Artifact--a commode with a demon bound to it.

* [[The Chessmaster]] / [[Crazy Prepared]]: Gozer cult leader Ivo Shandor, mentioned in the original film but featured much more prominently in the video game.

* [[Giant Mook]]: Each level has its own variation, starting with the Kitchen Golem in Sargassi's.

* [[A God Am I]]: {{spoiler|Ivo Shandor becomes somewhat disenchanted with Gozer after the Destroyer he summoned to bring about the end of the world is defeated by the Ghostbusters ''twice''. So he decides to do it himself.}}

** {{spoiler|And after you defeat ''him'' too:}}

{{spoiler|'''Egon:''' [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|We eat gods for breakfast!]]}} }}

* [[Hell Hotel]]: The Sedgewick in the game, oh God, the Sedgewick is so hard on the return level.

* [[Heroic Mime]]: The Rookie

* [[High Turnover Rate]]: Implied with the rookies in the game.

* [[Law Enforcement, Inc.]]: Averted, in time. By the 2009 video game, the Ghostbusters have become licensed state agents in the direct employ of New York City. A good thing, considering they seem to solely provide a service that seems nearly, if not equally, crucial as firefighting or crime deterrence.

* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: The Chairman absorbs energy from the mandala node before confronting the Ghostbusters, becoming nearly as large as Stay Puff.

** [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] was particularly pissed off about the stairs...among other problems that game had.

** Possibly referenced in the 2009 video game during the ghost-dimension-library level.

'''Egon''': Stairs, LOTS of stairs... }}

** The Playstation 2 version of the 2009 video game had Nintendo Hardness also -- mostly stemming from the lack of save points. If your game freezes up and glitches, you're forced back to the start of the level you were on once you restart.

** In the Wii version, the female PC doesn't even get altered dialog, still being referred to as male.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: The handwave for the player-character's anonymity (and what happened to his predecessor) in the game, see [[No Name Given]] above.

** And also from the game, Egon talking to Peter in the first level about "the Ellis Island Incident," never spoken of again.

*** That's probably just a [[Shout-Out|reference]] to the second movie.

** A crayon drawing in the firehouse gives one to amateur Ghostbusters movies ''Freddy Vs Ghostbusters'' and its sequel ''Return of the Ghostbusters''. You can also see the ending screen of the 8-bit ''Ghostbusters'' game on the computer monitor in the firehouse.

** Also featured in the game is an answering machine message from one [[Indiana Jones|Professor Jones]] demanding the ghostbusters return the Vigo painting.

** There are multiple references to ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' in the form of Slimer being the [[Team Pet]], the upgraded containment unit looking like a bank vault and the show's PKE meter showing up on a table as a piece of random technology.

*** The Ghost Traps from both ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' and ''[[Extreme Ghostbusters]]'' can be seen in the basement too.

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Dana Barret is mentioned in the game, but no information on her current whereabouts circa 1991 is given. Sigourney Weaver initially refused a role in the game on account of Bill Murray not having any creative involvement, but the game was too far along to swap characters in and out by the time she was told this had changed.

* [[Where's the Fun In That?]]:

'''Dr. Peter Venkman:''' Where's the fun in that? }}
