Ghostbusters I by Activision for Amiga?

You can play the best looking version of Ghostbusters on your Amiga if it's AGA and has a 030 or faster CPU. You just need to install AmiMasterGear from here - http://kung-foo.dhs.org/zener/AmiEmulatorsWeb/index.htm
And download the Ghostbusters Sega Master System ROM! The game was enhanced for the Sega and features nicer graphics than the C64 original and maybe a couple of other improvements too. This is how I've been playing this awesome game on the Amiga for years, and although it might not feel exactly the same as the C64 version, it's definitely just as good or better. And AmiMasterGear runs much faster than any C64 emulator on the Amiga, so more people will have a chance to try it (it runs on an A1200 or CD32 with Fast RAM too, if you have one, just a little slow).

The original Ghostbusters game was released for the Sega Master System in 1987, so there's no reason why they couldn't have ported it to the Amiga around that stage too. The Ghostbusters franchise was still popular enough to have sold the game on the Amiga if it had been released.

Ghostbusters was also released for the Atari 2600 in 1992 (although it had been completed long before then). I'm not sure if there are any good Atari 2600 emulators for the Amiga, I've never really looked.

I think you misunderstood what I meant. I wasn't implying that the Sega Master System version was the first, and no other version came out before 1987, I meant that the Sega version came out in 1987, and the Sega Master System came out in 1986. It's the same game as the Commodore 64 version, but with better graphics and an extra level added. So by this logic, it would have made sense that if an Amiga version had come out, even though it may have been years after the original C64 version, it could have still sold well, and I'm sure it would.

I'm sorry you went to so much effort to prove something we already knew and took for granted. No one is arguing that the 1984 C64 version wasn't first.

When I said "original" I just meant it was based on the original Ghostbusters game, not Ghostbusters 2 or The Real Ghostbusters.

Sorry I mixed up with Ghostbusters 2 for Atari 2600, but I thought it wasn't released in Europe and Australia until 1992.
