This page details one or more prototype versions of Ghostbusters (NES).
This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.
A sample cartridge of the game's Japanese version appeared on Yahoo! Japan Auctions in May 2014, and was acquired and dumped by Nintendo Player.

An additional comma is present in "ACTIVISION INC." that was removed in the final release.

Some different wording here:
- One less exclamation point on "BAD LUCK !!!"
- "CITY OF NEW YORK" is not properly centered
- The third paragraph was completely rewritten to specifically mention Gozer.
Other Changes
- The boss battle with Gozer is considerably more forgiving, allowing you to take 7 hits instead of 3 as it is in the final game.
- The ending is broken just like the final version, Game Genie Code PAOKULAA will fix the ending in the prototype.
- The ending text, once fixed, matches the final Japanese version, and is just as "Grate".
- The credits scroll, once fixed, matches the final Japanese and US versions.
- The scrolling "りり" glitch text does not appear in the broken ending, so the screen remains black the whole time.
