If something is strange and doesn't look good? Who, you gonna call?
It's been 30 years since the original Battlestar Galactica has been aired, so happy birthday.
It's also been 25 years since the first Ghostbusters was released on the big screen and it has taken a bit of time, but they have released a fun Ghostbusters game on the PS3.
Basically it's set some years after the second film and you play a newbie Ghostbuster and must help to save New York as we know it from some familiar and new ghosts.
The familiar ghosts includes Slimer, the library ghost, the Stay Puft monster and several others. The graphics are pretty good, espeically with the four original Ghostubsters and what's even better is that they have the voices of the original people, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudsom. You even get Annie Potts as the secretary who fancies Egon, Janice and William Atherton as Walter Peck.
Essentially the game is Ghostbusters 3 and you can even do multiplayer and choose to play one of the four Ghostbusters.
I believe that there are six rules to Ghostbusting. These are:-
1) Don't cross the streams.
2) Don't look directing into the traps.
3) Split up as you can do more damage that way.
4) If someone ask if you are a God and your name is Ray Stantz, always say yes.
5) Don't switch off the containtment unit.
6) If you see the librarian ghost, don't get her as she will get you.

25 years since Ghostbusters? Man, I feel old now...
That's a classic movie.
I admit I only have pretty vague memories of the original Battlestar Galactica. I liked it, but I was never obsessed with it -that made it very easy for me to accept the new BSG, which was so very, very different.

I remember the original Battlestar Galactica. I had a thing for Starbuck; he was the independent and gutsy (I sense a recurring theme)
I'll have to try the Ghosbusters game. I loved the movie. The game has got to be better than the one I'm playing now: Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. I'm getting easily frustrated with it.

Um... should I ask who Noah Hathaway is? 
I loved Ghostbusters! We own the DVD now, and my kids enjoy it too.

I guess ET was released some time in there as well. I feel like that is the first movie that my family went out to see so I remember it well. (There must have been earlier movies that we went to see at drive in theaters but that is my clearest memory.)
Those memories really do make me feel old.

And yep have to agree witht he sentiments here of feeling old.

If I recall, there was a sort of Ken-Joe dynamic between Apollo and Starbuck, wasn't there?

Ack!
Who's Noah Hathaway??? Oh, TJ! And I thought you were much more a sci-fi fan than I am!
FB is correct... He played Boxey in Battlestar and Atreyu in Neverending Story.

I got the blu-ray version.
I can remember the line at the cinema "We came. We saw. We kicked it ass." However, with the TV version, they cut that line out but it's on the blu-ray version.

The Ghostbusters game can be frustrating at times and I think it would be more fun playing with 3 other people on the multiplayer.

I read the title of this thread just moments after watching Ghostbusters on tv... talk about messed up, and like the others I too am feeling rather old now!

Met...Now I feel old... That was my favourite movie when it first came out. I went on a date to see it with my future husband. (We were teens, we hadn't been dating long.) The game would be fun!

What, you ladies old. Are you sure? I didn't realise that 21 means that you are old.

I don't think so personally as Starbuck was more laid back than Joe and wasn't much in a hurry to press any red buttons as much either (except during any daggit fights with cyclons) and went after the ladies more than anything else.
Also sometimes Apollo can be more aggressively than Starbuck, but that's my personal opioion.
