Ghostbusters II

One of the best offerings in this month's little Hit Squad collection, is the awesome Ghostbusters sequel, split into three totally different sections, and each one as hard as the last.

Your first task in this action blast is to collect a sample of slime at the bottom of the airshaft. Guidng your Ghostbuster carefully down the rope, avoid all contact with ghosts, otherwise you'll be frightened to death.

Collecting the three parts of the scoop from the walls of the shaft will enable you to collect the slime, but be very, very careful when the sawing monsters are around.

Ghostbusters II

Keep an eye on the close up of your rope and blast away the beasties before they can chew through your rope and send you to your death.

Next up, you must control the progress of the slimy Statue of Liberty to the Museum of Art.

Use your fireballs to obliterate ghosts, but be thrifty, as each new fireball will take strength away from the statue, as will any contact with the ghoulish attackers.

Ghostbusters II

Guide the crowd of bystanders to pick up slime to replenish your supply and you might just make it in time. If not, it's goodbye to baby Oscar.

The final stage sees you abseiling into the museum, on your way to rescuing the baby and taking on the mighty Vigo the Carpathian.

Using the pointer to change weapons, you'll have to be exceptionally quick to beat this mean geezer but remember, if you do, you are going to be some kind of hero.

It's all up to you and the team. Work hard, tread carefully, and go get the bad guys. Following the film plot very closely, Ghostbusters II is a superb conversion, full of pitfalls and nailbitingly tense.

The nasties are brilliantly portrayed and the graphics make it an absolute joy to play. If you haven't done so already, do it now.
