Ghostbusters Fans Rejoice: Experience a Nostalgic 8-Bit Adventure!

Dive Back into the Past

In a delightful blend of nostalgia and creativity, the North Texas Ghostbusters fan franchise has unveiled a new video game experience that will transport players back to the golden age of 8-bit gaming. Developed by none other than Zach Hidalgo, a member of the North Texas Ghostbusters, this Game Boy-compatible title allows players to embark on a ghost-hunting adventure reminiscent of classic arcade games.

Relive the Excitement of 8-Bit Gaming

Hidalgo’s creation, “Ghostbuster Uzzle,” invites gamers to explore a mysterious hotel haunted by spectral creatures linked to legendary video game cartridges. As players capture these phantoms, they are rewarded with vibrant pixel art reminiscent of iconic 90s video games. According to Ghostbusters News, this experience offers a perfect blend of innovation and nostalgia.

A Labor of Love

The game was crafted entirely using GB Studio, with Hidalgo personally overseeing every aspect—from map design to dialogue and programming. Drawing inspiration from popular titles like Pokémon Red, this project pays homage to HAL Laboratory’s classic Ghostbusters II NES and Game Boy adaptations, offering a fresh twist on the well-loved franchise.

Joining the Halloween Festivities

This exciting release is part of Denton’s renowned 31 Days of Halloween, transforming the city into a hub of Halloween-themed fun and fanfare. Visitors to Denton can enjoy not only the game but a plethora of events, themed treats, and the return of the fan-favorite ECTO Juice.
