[rec.games.video] Help with Ghostbusters

My inlaws got a got of Ghostbusters and are in a bit of a fix. Is
there any seriousness or reason to this game? You really can't catch
ghosts fast enough to win or get better tools is there? Also, how do
you escape back to get more/different tools/cars/weapons. Any spoilers
would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sure you can!  This game is VERY beatable!  All's that you have to do is catch
enough ghosts to be able to pay back your debt..anything you make after that
is yours to keep until the next game..that's when you can use that cash towards
a better car/tools/weapons..
But, it is tough to beat the game and pass the Marshmellow man and get to the 
last screen, but if you do then you can use your account towards the next game.
Enjoy...

If you earn a certain amount of money, something like 10000 or 100000
(I haven't played the game in weeks), you get a bankacount.
In the next game you play, you can use this money to buy better
tools, cars, etc.
I hope that you know that the main goal of game is not to catch as
many ghosts a possible, but to defeat Zuul.
