**Why *Ghostbusters: The Video Game* (2009 OG PC Version) Needs to Be on GOG and Why It’s an Amazing Game**
*Ghostbusters: The Video Game* (2009) isn’t just a tie-in—it’s the true spiritual successor to the original films. Written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, and featuring the full original cast (Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Aykroyd, and Ramis), it’s the *Ghostbusters 3* fans had always hoped for. The game’s story fits seamlessly into the universe, offering a funny, spooky, and heartfelt continuation that feels 100% authentic.
The original PC version had charm the remaster couldn’t quite capture. It featured a unique lighting atmosphere, tighter gameplay mechanics, and a better sense of pacing. Even though the remaster improved visuals and performance, it cut out the multiplayer and lacked some of the original’s soul. The OG version also had a less “plastic” look compared to the remaster’s often over-polished models.
From blasting ghosts with the Proton Pack to exploring haunted landmarks in New York, the game lets you live the dream of being a Ghostbuster like no other title before or since. The gameplay mixed action, puzzle-solving, and environmental destruction in a way that felt fresh and exciting.
Bringing the 2009 PC version to GOG would not only preserve this cult classic DRM-free, but would give fans the definitive version of the game—complete with original atmosphere and tone. It’s more than nostalgia; it’s about preserving a pivotal piece of gaming and movie crossover history. Who ya gonna call? GOG.
