The initial title was a shameless cash-in of the first movie, with ''Ghostbusters International'' helping suck in more cash following the second movie. Despite this, they were pretty darned good, and the system used was a precursor to the [[D6 System]] later used in many titles, including the ''[[Star Wars RPG]]''.
