What about that stupid video game where you manage the GB team and buy cars and accesories like the hood-mounted ghost vacuum? It came out on apple IIe right before slimermania. It’s not slimer-centric.

I thought that Jack’s balls were seen in that Three’s Company episode? Either way they have since edited the problem out.

I loved Ecto-Cooler and the Real Ghostbusters. I really did not lose interest until they changed the cartoon from the nice DIC animation to the crap DIC animation (see DIC’s version of G.I. Joe) for Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters.

The Ghostbusters DVD is great. Reitman and Ramis discuss on the commentary how originally Ackroyd had the story set in the future over run with ghosts. Ackroyd and Belushi were just like today’s firemen going from job to job. I have read that there will not be another sequel, but I would like to see that original concept have a go. Too bad Columbia could not re-release the movie for the twentieth anniversary coming up. The only thing that would have to touched up is the Terror Dogs, since they are really clay looking. The rest of the effects are fine.

The gum must not have aged too well, because I don’t remember green syrup. Man, I used to friggin’ EAT that stuff. It was damn tasty, too!

I vaguely remember learning about Slimer from cartoons, candy, etc. before I actually saw the first Ghostbusters movie. My Dad insisted that although this was the movie Slimer came from, he was barely in it and didn’t have anything to do with the story. I wasn’t yet at the point where I’d doubt my parents’ knowledge, but I was sure he was just kidding. Of course he was right after all. Damn reality.

Is there anything kids won’t eat? I never used to be able to get enough of those damn gummy candies, but not the bears or worms–it had to be the scary scorpions and spiders and sharks, because those are cool, and the package was a mold that you could make yourself believe was reusable for ice or chocolate or something. Mostly, it just broke, and the delicious slimy candy made me nauseous after about 2. So I’d eat 24. Good times.
