Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed

Long ago, Illfonic made a game based on the Friday the 13th series, turning it into an asynchronous online multiplayer game. It clearly had a love of passion and love for the franchise put in to the game, and although it was riddled with bugs and glitches, it was still a pretty fun game.

When Super Nintendo was still the biggest thing out there and we were excitedly waiting for Nintendo 64 to drop, I would frequently stop in at my local Funcoland.

I had planned on this…
