Summary

“MAYOR AWARDS YOU $2000 FOR AVERTING MARSHMALLOW CATASTROPHE.” The summer of 1984 and Activision lights a fire under Davd Crane's butt, giving him and his team six weeks to get a computer game out to ride the hype-wave of smash hit supernatural comedy movie, Ghostbusters. 40 years later, Leon, Chris O, Chris W, Jesse and community contributors fire up unlicensed nuclear accelerators and wave P.K.E.
