Over two decades after the first film was released, is there any point in a game based on Ghostbusters?

The first Ghostbusters game was terrible

This won’t be the first Ghostbusters game to hit the market. Activision released a game to tie in with the first movie at around the time of its release, but it was, frankly, an agonising experience. Between 1980s home computer technology and some staggeringly inept and rushed design, the level of fun involvedwas akin to pulling one’s own teeth out with one’s own fingers. Through one’s own eye sockets.
