Jim Bambra revisited the franchise in the September 1990 edition of "Dragon" (Issue 161) when he reviewed the "Ghostbusters International" edition. Bambra noted that the new edition "retains the flavor of the original game." He also noted that there were many new rules, but "Whether those new rules are needed depends on your taste. I thought the game worked fine as it was." He concluded "The new rules look like they'll work just fine, so if you've never experienced the thrill of getting 'slimed' or blasting away with a proton pack, here's your chance."
