Initially lost to me (due to the red haze) – and lost to everyone else because most every gaming site in the world was too lazy to look past the juicy jab at Rick Moranis – is the fact that we know a name for one of the weapons equipment settings (I prefer that – remember, a proton pack isn’t a toy, but nor is it a weapon. It’s a tool, if you have the talent) – the Boson Dart (not the “Boston Dart“, as one site incorrectly copied.) That’s, like, a moth or something.
Aykroyd went so far as to change names of weapons, “He changed things like the Proton Torpedo to the Boson Dart because he thought the original sounded too ‘Star Trek‘.”
Well, he’s not alone. And hooray for Boson beams! So, we’re talking about, what…? Gluons? As long as they zap nicely.

That’s class right there. No cynical nature to this comment, I honestly think that’s some classy wording right there.
I have, on rare occasions, moments.
Thanks, Kevin!
“Boson Dart”, I like it… and I understand Dan’s justification for changing it. Thanks for the writeup… and yeah, the Moranis hating is unbelievable… it’s like some people think he owes us all something, like he’s supposed to just drop everything when a new Ghostbusters sequel (albeit in game form) raises it’s head.
Unbelievably unprofessional.
Boson Dart? That’s just bloody genius that is! I love it! Ol’ Danny’s on top of stuff which makes me feel very confident!
[...] New equipment setting found in Ghostbusters: The Video Game It is also the only place you can read a new in-depth series called Shot On Site, which Ghostbusters.net blogged about earlier in the month. [...]
Hey guys, just wanted to go on record about Moranis…definitely wasn’t trying to stir the pot with the original post. If anything, I envy the guy. Thanks for picking up the link. I think Ghostbuster fans will be stoked over the final product of the game. It looks pretty rad.
