In fact, it's known as completely different game in Japan called ''Meikyū Hunter G'', which almost looks and plays alike (minus ''Ghostbusters'' theme song). Due to lack of record, it's not clear which version came first, but it's often assumed ''The Real Ghostbusters'' is a revised version of ''Meikyū Hunter G'', because ''Ghostbusters'' has a number of exclusive contents that the other didn't get (such as expanded arsenal and actual ending).

This video game adaptation based on ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' is a 1987 [[UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame arcade game]] created by Creator/DataEast. It's pretty basic top-down view [[Main/RunAndGun run-and-gun]] where you control one of the busters to blast ghosts out of your way over the ten stages.

!!This game provides examples of:
* DifficultyByRegion: The weapon options in ''Meikyū Hunter G'' aren't as fancy as the ones in ''The Real Ghostbusters'', so it's often easy to find yourself quickly overwhelmed by sheer amount of ghosts.
* InNameOnly: The game doesn't really have anything to do with the titular animated series (as noted above, it started as an unrelated, original game).
