What are the best and worst Ghostbusters games of the /vr/ era?

As a kid I was stuck with the shittiest unplayable US Ghostbusters NES game.

As an adult I learned that Hal labs (Kirby, Smash Bros, etc) made a kino one, but it was only released in the UK and Japan. Satoru Iwata even worked on it.

It's not quite Terminal Reality level good, but it's even better than the unfinished Doom Wad.

Do you guys have any recommendations or hated GB games?

The ghostbusters game for master system was ok - not great, challenging, had different types of games within one. Respectable.

You haven't seen bad boring Ghostbusters until you played this shit.

SAd thing with the license is people frequently reskinned unrelated games without any sense of proton and trading mechanics.

Both of the ones named are pretty great regarding their systems. Unsure what you want unless you're some HARDCOR3 GAMERRRRRRrrrrr who needs your games to be balls-to-the-wall arcadey virtuosity testing the limits of your skill.

The NES Ghostbusters was trash because it was made by one of those bedroom coder studios like Micronics where the programmers were inexperienced fresh college grads.

Ghostbusters II by HAL also had a version for Game Boy, pretty comfy.

Real Ghostbusters arcade is nice. Demon World/Horror Story is a really good game inspired by Ghostbusters.

not retro, but pinball is allowed on /vr/
Bullet points:
Art package is beloved. Gameplay has received mixed reviews.
Eventually received a code update that fixed some of the problems people had with the game.
Features a jump scare. Every so often a ghost will scream at max volume: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4D5nIc-c
(it's really loud in person)
Flippers are farther apart than a normal pinball machine.
Magna-slings on premium and LE function differently than normal slingshots.
Last game made by designer John Trudeau before he was indicted for possession of child pornography.
