I suspect the master system version was slightly better than the NES, as the stairs part wasn’t a stupid “mash A and B while being completely defenseless”, you only controlled 1 dude and could shoot the ghosts, and it wasn’t 20 actual fucking flights of stairs, though the music was the exact same from start to end.
Comment on Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it.

I believe it was released on the C64 a couple days before Halloween and then on the NES and every where else shortly there after so yeah, just before Christmas.
But I mean that was just a common thing for the early to mid 80s when it came to videogames. Just get something out before the holidays with a hot franchise on the box and who gives a rats ass what the game is about or if it’s even any good. it’ll sell.
