Thanks for those scans Kingpin, just read the whole thing now, just viewed the lot on my 40" LCD using zoom as well. :-)

I like how we are going to get a lot more background on some of our favourite foes.

It will also be interesting where it said in the article that you will be able to watch the ghosts in the containment unit that you have captured.

Also some interesting sounding weapons to compliment your standard Proton Pack.

Yeah, I like that you'll be able to see the ghost in the containment unit, thats got a bit of an RGB feel to it.

Heh, and of course, no big surprise that you get to upgrade the proton pack, as long as you don't actually have to buy the weapons like on the NES game and such.

Well you might need to earn some money so Egon can buy the components to build them…?

Yeah, you'll have to earn money, but what I'm saying is that you won't actually have to buy the proton packs, traps and such, I'm sure that money will be used to upgrade the proton pack, but you won't actually have to buy it.

Definately, I've been enjoying how we'll be revisiting the Library ghost, and I'm very greatly interested in hearing about her past and why she's haunting the Library.

Agreed… aside from anything else it'll be adapting a concept that never saw finalisation from the first film.

Yep, your probably right, your standard equipment will do the job, but the upgrades will make it easier.

Did anyone actually used to buy the PKE meter on the old 8 bit game…? as it usually used to display the readings anyway, lol.

I bought the PKE Meter in the old games so the right buildings would light up instead of me having to drive close to them. Lol, but in those games, I was wondering who was actually making their equipment if you were just buying it.

And yeah, I like that you get to look into the containment unit. Lol, though of course, you get to explode the Marshmallow Man again.

The old game isn't actually supposed to play along the lines of the movie, you're supposed to be a new GB franchise (yeah, that doesnt really ring true, but this was the intention) so you're purchasing the equipment from GB:I.

Personally i'd like to see this game remade as a management sim, much like theme park or the tycoon series.

Oh, okay, that makes sense then, not sure why, but it still kinda makes sense. Heh, doesn't make that game any less worse then it is though.

Oh, I don't think that they'd do that, theres enough management Sims out there, don't need to go that route with Ghostbusters.
