The GB version of Ghostbusters 2 has a lot of differences from the NES version. Including power ups, switching out Ghostbusters, ramped up difficulty, cutscenes and fewer maps. What differences have you noticed?

We all wanna call it "Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle". It's actually called "The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle". The title screen keeps it simple...

Everybody and their dog knows about how the Crazy Castle games have had many reskins. But the fact that it originally started as a Roger Rabbit game is so upsetting. Just because WE want to play the Roger Rabbit version!

The boys at YK HQ were discussing who the hell Honey Bunny is. In the manual she is depicted as a love interest who looks like classic Bugs in drag. But her origins are Bugs' annoying little cousin from the 1950s comics.
