Chiller

Classic horror arcade video game of 1986.
Made by Exidy .
It is a game played with a light shotgun .

The game itself is divided in 4 levels : the torture chamber , the hall , a second torture chamber and finally the cemetary .

every time you complete one of the level by finding all the secret items before the time ends , you will be rewarded a slot machine bonus and if you finish all four levels finding all the secret items , you are awarded a shoot em up bonus rouds worth a lot of points .

This game is a real sadic one ,, not onlly you must destroy paranormal entities like zombies , ghosts , rats and bats and such but also you have to eliminate what seems to be innocent persons as well .

The game itself is well made and has terrific sounds but its amazing that it got distributed without trouble or censorship .

This game spawned a bootleg remake for the ever so popular Nintendo entertainment system (NES) 8 bit console .
For a quarter you can play the game Chiller .

They made a bootleg version of chiller for the NES 8 Bit .

ecto 1A

A slight modification of the already original ecto 1 modified 1959 Cadillac hearse made for the ghostbusters 2 movie in 1989 .

In an attempt to refresh the new ghostbusters 2 films look , decision to modify the ecto 1 was made by adding new accesories on top of the hearse and two electronic bilboards on each side to advertise ghostbusting ads .

The overall new ectomobile was nice enough to not alter the already popular look of the iconic car .

Note that the car also comes equipped with a proton particle thrower and giant ghost trap ( featured in the atari 2600 , nes , sega games systems . ) never used in any of the two previous ghostbusters films , but was featured in the real ghostbusters animated series pilot .
The ecto 1a is the name of the ectomobile in ghostbusters 2 .

The ecto 1a is the same car as the ecto 1 but slightly modified .

ecto 3

The ecto 3 is a phenomenon by itself for in the real ghostbusters ( Slimer and the real ghostbusters) is a unicyle motorcycle with a side car , made for two persons .

The trouble with this vehicle is that the toy maker Kenner made their own version of the ecto 3 being a go kart with ghost swatter in the front so technically the ecto 3 is a motor unicycle and a go kart both made for and by the ghostbusters in the animated serie .
The ecto 3 toy is nothing like the ecto 3 from the tv cartoons .
