Ghostbusters: Basic Training

Author:David Zeiss
Genres:Horror>Haunted House
Adaptation>Screen
Review:

What's worse than the world's worst parser? Answer: A game that doesn't parse the command line at all! Yes, this poor little unlicensed film spin-off simply matches your input against strings such as "TAKE FOOD" and "LOOK UNDER SWING"; all other phrasings are ignored. Features CGA graphics. Impossible to quit. On my system, the "save" command appeared to work, but "restore" didn't.
