Why it rocks

 * 1) The game involves one or two ghost-busters who can suck monsters, ghosts, aliens, and various monsters into vacuum-cleaner-like devices and spit them back as bouncing/rolling balls.
 * 2) The game levels involve many world locations, such as Egypt, New York, and Paris
 * 3) Expelled enemies function as projectiles that can damage and kill other opponents on the screen when colliding with them.
 * 4) Every level has to be completed within a specific period of time before exceeding an invisible timer.
 * 5) If the players do not manage to eliminate all the monsters in time, a Dracula-like beast appears and instantly kills the player(s). This also counts in the Boss levels.
 * 6) The overall gameplay is similar to Snow Bros..
 * 7) Very fun to play, especially on 2 player mode.
