The Angry Video Game Nerd Reviews Ghostbusters for NES

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

The Angry Video Game Nerd has republished his classic review of Ghostbusters for the Nintendo Entertainment System on YouTube.

It goes without saying that Terminal Reality will deliver the first video game that will do justice to the Ghostbusters franchise.

A friendly note, the video is not safe for work and contains some language as foul as Slimer’s breath.
