It's been 30 years since the original Battlestar Galactica has been aired, so happy birthday. It's also been 25 years since the first Ghostbusters was released on the big screen and it has taken a bit of time, but they have released a fun Ghostbusters game on the PS3. Basically it's set some years after the second film and you play a newbie Ghostbuster and must help to save New York as we know it from some familiar and new ghosts. The familiar ghosts includes Slimer, the library ghost, the Stay Puft monster and several others. The graphics are pretty good, espeically with the four original Ghostubsters and what's even better is that they have the voices of the original people, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudsom. You even get Annie Potts as the secretary who fancies Egon, Janice and William Atherton as Walter Peck. Essentially the game is Ghostbusters 3 and you can even do multiplayer and choose to play one of the four Ghostbusters. I believe that there are six rules to Ghostbusting. These are:- 1) Don't cross the streams. 2) Don't look directing into the traps. 3) Split up as you can do more damage that way. 4) If someone ask if you are a God and your name is Ray Stantz, always say yes. 5) Don't switch off the containtment unit. 6) If you see the librarian ghost, don't get her as she will get you.

25 years since Ghostbusters? Man, I feel old now... That's a classic movie. I admit I only have pretty vague memories of the original Battlestar Galactica. I liked it, but I was never obsessed with it -that made it very easy for me to accept the new BSG, which was so very, very different.

I remember the original Battlestar Galactica. I had a thing for Starbuck; he was the independent and gutsy (I sense a recurring theme) I'll have to try the Ghosbusters game. I loved the movie. The game has got to be better than the one I'm playing now: Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. I'm getting easily frustrated with it.

30 years for Battlestar and 25 for Ghostbusters?!? Yeah, I agree with LB... I'm feeling very old at the moment!! Wow, 30 years since little Noah Hathaway stole my own little heart....

Um... should I ask who Noah Hathaway is? I loved Ghostbusters! We own the DVD now, and my kids enjoy it too.

I guess ET was released some time in there as well. I feel like that is the first movie that my family went out to see so I remember it well. (There must have been earlier movies that we went to see at drive in theaters but that is my clearest memory.) Those memories really do make me feel old.

Noah Hathaway played Boxey in Battlestar Galactica and Atreyu in Neverending story. And yep have to agree witht he sentiments here of feeling old.

If I recall, there was a sort of Ken-Joe dynamic between Apollo and Starbuck, wasn't there?

Ack! Who's Noah Hathaway??? Oh, TJ! And I thought you were much more a sci-fi fan than I am! FB is correct... He played Boxey in Battlestar and Atreyu in Neverending Story. Link to Our Favorite Non-Gatch Internet Resource!

Even I didn't know who Noah was. Thought he build an ark myself.

I got the blu-ray version. I can remember the line at the cinema "We came. We saw. We kicked it ass." However, with the TV version, they cut that line out but it's on the blu-ray version.

The Ghostbusters game can be frustrating at times and I think it would be more fun playing with 3 other people on the multiplayer.

I read the title of this thread just moments after watching Ghostbusters on tv... talk about messed up, and like the others I too am feeling rather old now!

Met...Now I feel old... That was my favourite movie when it first came out. I went on a date to see it with my future husband. (We were teens, we hadn't been dating long.) The game would be fun!

What, you ladies old. Are you sure? I didn't realise that 21 means that you are old.

You would be ready to swear rather a lot. Don't ask me how many times I said fcuk over the weekend.

You're right! Just like Ken and Joe!

I don't think so personally as Starbuck was more laid back than Joe and wasn't much in a hurry to press any red buttons as much either (except during any daggit fights with cyclons) and went after the ladies more than anything else. Also sometimes Apollo can be more aggressively than Starbuck, but that's my personal opioion.

Oh, I had the biggest crush on Dirk Benedict...but I mainly watched him as "Face" on the A-Team...

Springie, here you are emphasizing yet more that time has really passed! What memories!

There's an actor (nver heard of himself) that Iread last week saying that he's up for the rold of Face in the A-Team film.

I know...isn't it sad? Weren't the 80's only yesterday? LOL

Amazingly, Richard Hatch, Apollo from the original BSG and Tom Zarak from the re-imagined BSG hasn't changed his hair. In fact despite being 30 years old, he's still got the same hair in the same style. I can barely remember how long I have lived in this house of mine.......Hold on it's been 12 years. And it's been 10 years since starting work at Homebase. Now I feel old.

Ooh, Marie, nice avatar!!!!!

I noticed that about Gatchamarie's avatar as well. Do you know which eps. it from?

Originally posted by Springie Oh, I had the biggest crush on Dirk Benedict...but I mainly watched him as "Face" on the A-Team...

Dirk Benedict . . . *swoon* - I watched him in every incarnation I could. I don't care if I'm old, in my mind neither one of us has aged a bit (except of course, I'd be legal - which I wasn't when I first started watching BSG!).

Why does all of this talk about 'Dirk' remind me of ?

You know -that could very well be what inspired Dirk Daring's name! Didn't GOS come out in the early 80s? Battlestar Galactica and A-Team would have been pretty fresh in people's minds. My older sister, I recall, had a Dirk Benedict crush from watching BSG.

Very nice, Gatchamarie! Is it Gatch II or Gatch F?

Thanks. It's from Episode 1 of Gatchaman F.

I loved the male version of Starbuck back in the 80's....sigh...he was dreamy for a little girl...Springie those piccies take me back in time...

[unrecoverable text]

Everyone needs a little Starbuck in their lives - it's nice that we now have one of each gender to make everyone happy!

Dirk Benedict was a hotty! Had a crush on him too during the 80's . Gatchamarie nice avatar!

Originally posted by gatchgirl Dirk Benedict was a hotty! Had a crush on him too during the 80's . Gatchamarie nice avatar!

I don't know anyone that did not have a crush on him during that period! Only my mum, who had a crush on George Peppard instead! Makes sense due to her age those years! Thanks again for complement.

Gah, as if becoming a mum isnt making me feel responsible, I now feel old thinking about my girl hood crushes. Every one I knew, well the girls any way but you cant be sure, watched BSG for Starbuck and the A team for Face. There may have been a few disenters who liked apollo but we soon shouted them down. All the boys wanted to be him as well. You'd get a 30min break time, decide to play BSG and the lads would spend 20mins arguing over who got to be starbuck and who was apollo. Oh and ghostbusters, I was 8 when it came out, I'm 33 now but the old lady in the library still scares me!.

When I was a kid and my friends and pretended to be characters from TV shows, I tended to end up doing the villain/bad guy -my friends said I was the best at it!

Maybe, lborgia88 you could be a Berg Katse, Devilstar or a goon one week. Probably do a better job and still be a live at the end of the series.

Do you mean the coffee or the people? If it's a coffee, then mine's with milk but no sugar as I am sweet enough as it is.

Heh, what my friends didn't realize was that I was mostly just channeling my older brother, who had a rather twisted mind and tended to admire, and talk at length about, "evil overlord"-type characters (ie. he saw Star Wars and liked Darth Vader the best). It so happened that none of my friends, when I was that age, had older brothers.

I was honoured to be the only girl in the gang, mainly so i could play the token female, Leia, athena, amy / tania..... It mainly consisted of being at the opposite end of the playground waiting to be rescued

Back in the day, I had wanted to be the "leader" I think it had to do with me wanting to control my group of cousins... It's only since my adult years that the Condor and 2nd place has had as much fun.... LB, at times I would be the villian, with my evil laugh I could scare any of my younger cousins.
