The Ghostbusters are among cinema's most iconic figures.

In fact, the Ghostbusters logo alone is enough to have you singing the theme song and picturing all four of the original team (as well as maybe the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man).

When the iconic '80s flick got a lone sequel before quietly dying out, it seemed that fans were doomed never to see the four Ghostbusters reunite.

So when Ghostbusters: The Video Game was released in 2009, it was something of a reward for the fans' patience.

Narratively, the game serves as a sequel to Ghostbusters II, and it features the voices and likenesses of all four of the original team.

It might seem trivial, but consider the fact that both Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray have remained incredibly busy in Hollywood, and that all four of the stars' schedules had to line up to make this happen, and it's a little mindblowing.

Not one but four iconic characters returned here, and their passion for the project translated into a successful game.

A critical and commercial success, Ghostbusters: The Video Game went a long way towards building the legacy that the original franchise deserved.
