So, Ghostbusters, one of the most iconic retro franchises. It has the infamous bad NES game, but what about the good ones?
Mega Drive Ghostbusters and (PAL only) Ghostbusters II on NES are actually pretty fun games. Any other?

There was an arcade game based on the animated series

The c64 original which got the botched NES port is great.

Pretty sure this was a reskin of some Japanese game where you just shot up demons with like a buncha "chosen ones".

Actually.. I've always suspected that the Genesis Ghostbusters game was a reskin too, but of a game that was already in production by Sega by the time they aquired the license, and then they gave it a makeover and never released the original.
I mean the story is pretty weird, with the Ghost catching part clearly tacked on after every boss fight. and then there's the weird old man who sells you all the equipment? despite Egon designing everything in the GBs lore. and whats with the weird food items? couldn't they have added some twinkies? and why is the old guy called "grandpa" by Ray?

Everything points to a reskin, great game! but.. reskin.

Wasn't the arcade game pretty solid? It's been a while since I played it.
