Forget Lego Ghostbusters

MiniMates Ghostbusters: the Video Game would kick so much ass!

Hmm…

It's a good idea, but a Minimates game doesn't quite have the appeal of a LEGO game. Here's why: a LEGO game is much more ‘buildable’ than a Minimate game. LEGO Star Wars, for example, has the Minikit concept whereby you can ‘build’ replicas of spaceships and other vehicles, then use them in mulitplayer arenas. In a Ghostbusters setting, you'd be able to build expansion packs for the ECTO-1, a full ECTO-2, ECTO-4 (from Now Comics), and, if you prefer, a few of the vehicles from the Kenner line. Also, there's the possibility of destroying set-dressings and then rebuilding them in different configurations–a refrigerator, for example, could be rebuilt as a grapple (or Slime Tether in this case) point.

Dialogue scenes rendered as games of “charades” would provide for much humor as well.

I think Possessed Dana and Gozer would be hilarious, yet more-than-a-little-disturbing, if rendered as LEGO characters (cf. Leia in Slave Girl costume).

The only question is, does the world of Ghostbusters have as much potential for loosey-goosey fun as Star Wars, Batman, or Indiana Jones?

I'm tempted to print that out and put it on my game. Beautiful.


Plus I would love to see my friends' reactions…

And a good job you did too. How in the world did you create the chef ghost, though, since he's not a buyable Minimate as far as I can tell.

Oh, one other thing: How much memory does your CPU require to use Photoshop? For some reason, my Image Broadway program gave me a warning as I was experimenting with it. Said I needed to free up some memory.

He is, he's part of the Videogame set.

You need to have a lot of memory free, as programs like Photoshop gobble it up.

Kingpin answered your questions, Chef is available through DST as the “Amazon Exclusive” 4-pack

You'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge about the Chef thing. I'm in the middle of a financial ice-age at the moment.
