Overview

Ghost Hunter is an Atari 400/800 game that puts a unique spin on the classic Pac-Man formula. Set in a haunted mansion on Huckleberry Hill, players control a character tasked with eliminating ghosts by consuming dots in a maze. The game supports both single and simultaneous two-player modes, pitting players against four increasingly aggressive ghosts across 15 pre-designed levels and a random level generator. Ghost Hunter introduces innovative features such as an "instant-hide" ability, allowing players to temporarily vanish to evade ghosts once per life. Additionally, players can collect character fragments scattered throughout the maze to earn extra lives. With its familiar maze-navigation gameplay, power pellets for ghost vulnerability, and progressive difficulty, Ghost Hunter offers a fresh take on the beloved arcade classic while adding its own supernatural twist.
