Based on the 1984 film of the same name, the Ghostbusters are the ones to call in to "flush out" any ghostly hauntings. To do this, they use nuclear-accelerated "proton packs" and "ghost traps", through which ghosts can be captured and transferred to a secure storage facility at their headquarters. However, New York City suddenly became a very haunted place, and the number of ghosts suddenly increased dramatically. The Ghostbusters must reduce the paranormal psychokinetic energy, the "PK level" in the city, which represents ghost power, before the Temple of Zuul awakens and resurrects an evil goddess called Gozer.

Ghostbusters is an action game that features top view and side view. From Ghostbusters HQ, the player must monitor a map of downtown Manhattan for "ghost alarms", as well as the occasional wandering spirit, and plot a route to the alarmed area. Once the route is mapped out, the player then controls the purchased Ghostmobile as it cuts through traffic. Here the player is able to capture occasional ghosts on the way if they are on the way. When the haunted place is reached, the game switches to side view. Two of the Ghostbusters will take position, activate their proton beams, and throw a trap on the ground. The player must then use both Ghostbusters to attempt to lead the ghost(s) over the placed trap. When activated, the trap shoots out to capture any ghosts directly above it. A successful capture will earn the player money, which can then be used to purchase new Ghostbusters vehicles and modifications for it. An unsuccessful capture will see the ghost fly away (after wickedly slimming down one of the Ghostbusters).

As the game progresses, the PK energy in the city increases. The Ghostbusters must keep it below critical levels by constantly managing to eliminate the ghosts. Eventually, the Temple of Zuul will activate, and if PK levels are still manageable, the Ghostbusters can venture there for a final showdown with Gozer.
