If what was done in this movie was possible in real life, economies worldwide would crash.
Ghostbusters is a hastily produced game based on the 1984 movie of the same name. The NES version is a notoriously bad port, and the Japanese version contains a glitch that allows the Ghost Alarm item to be sold for more than it costs, allowing entry into the Zuul Building much earlier than intended.
In this movie, MESHUGGAH improves the first run of this game by 38 frames through a few small optimizations. See the author's notes for more details.

Note: A bug in the Japanese version causes the ending screen to incorrectly display "りり". This movie will also sync while the PAXKKLAA Game Genie code is used, which shows the corrected text:
Conglaturation !!!
You have completed a grate game.
And prooved the justice of our culture.
Now go and rest our heroes !
The baseline tab shows the default movie beating the game as fast as possible without any special conditions.
