Ernie Hudson recently sat down for an interview Eurogamer to talk about Ghostbusters: The Video Game and how the Ghostbusters franchise has touched his life and career.
Still, sounds like Hudson accepts intrusions as part of the price you pay for being in a hugely successful film. He also accepts the fact he’ll always be remembered as the fourth Ghostbuster, although he had a much bigger part in the original script. “I was the guy who got slimed in the hotel, but I guess the studio felt they wanted more stuff for Bill Murray,” Hudson reveals. “I was the guy who thought of the marshmallow man on the rooftop, but then it became Danny [Akroyd]’s character.”
It was only after he won the part of Winston that the decision was made to reduce the character’s role. “And they didn’t do that till the day before we started shooting, so I didn’t have time to adjust,” Hudson says. “Yeah, when the part was cut there was some frustrating stuff associated with that. But it was what it was, and it is what it is. 24 years later, people still like the movie, and I’m glad.”
As we prepare for Ghostbusters: The Video Game, it is nice to take a look at previous Ghostbusters video games. YouTuber and ghosthead PressStartComic did just that, as he posted a brief video review of the original Real Ghostbusters arcade game.
Earlier this month, Proton Charging posted a play-through video of an emulated version of the game, check it out.
