1987 Codemasters
Platforms: Atari 800 and MSX
A very short entry for an Atari 800 and MSX conversion of Ghost Hunters that is currently missing. The question is, were either ever started? The game was released on the Commodore 64 , Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum and was designed by the Oliver Twins (their first game on the ZX Spectrum too).
Popular Computing Weekly, and probably other magazines, featured and article in April 1987 that gave a call for developers to get in touch with a list of conversions that they needed.
One of those titles was Ghost Hunters for Atari 800 and MSX.
It isn’t known if anyone answered the call and got assigned to the conversion, so it is early days. If you know anything more, please do get in touch.
With thanks to Adam Markey for highlighting, Patrick Furlong for CPC addition and Codemasters Archive for the scan.
Ghost Hunters originated on the CPC and ported to the Speccy via the CPC which the Oliver Twins used for their coding. This was actually their first Speccy title – their previous Codies title was ported by Mark Balcock
Thanks Patrick, will update quickly!
