Screen shot

An arcade adventure based around the streets of New York in your attempt to stop the ghosties taking over.

This hack remains untested.

When you're asked what type of car you want, try typing 0 (zero) and see what happens.

To start off with $85,000, enter GHOSTBUSTERS as your name and use the account number 00166605

To add pokes to Ghostbusters you have to create a new header to stop the program from auto-running. First off type in this new header;

100 CLEAR 32000
110 FOR X=35000 TO 35028
120 READ A : POKE X,A
130 NEXT X
140 PRINT "Start tape and press any key"
150 IF INKEY$="" THEN GOTO 150
160 RANDOMIZE USR 35000
170 DATA 221,33,196,136,17,17,0,175,205,
194,4,201,0,66,85,83
180 DATA 84,72,69,65,68,69,82,66,3,0,128,4,3

Save this onto a blank tape and then Run it. Now, listen to the Ghostbusters master tape and stop it just after the initial header (the first screech you hear on the tape). Remove the master tape (without rewinding it!) and replace it with the tape containing the false header. Type LOAD"" and, as soon as the header's loaded, swap the tapes around again and start the master tape up. Then, when the OK message appears, stop the tape (don't rewind it) and type in the following as a direct command;

POKE 24578,251 : POKE 23579,207 :
RANDOMIZE USR 24527

Now press enter and, ignoring the message on screen, type;

CLEAR 40000 : NEW

Enter the following program and Run it;

100 FOR x=56490 to 56510
110 READ a : POKE x,a
120 NEXT x
130 DATA 175,50,141,159,50,255,156,50,177,
158,50,189,164,62,167
140 DATA 50,0,157,195,0,131
150 RANDOMIZE USR 56444

You'll find that you'll never lose a 'buster once slimed, a single trap will be sufficient because it never fills up, and your backpacks will never discharge unless you cross beams.
