When I was a kid, I was 𝘳𝘦𝘒𝘭𝘭𝘺 into Ghostbusters (thanks to The Real Ghostbusters cartoon).

Before getting the official ghost trap toy, I used an old Atari 2600 controller. I opened it up, removed the joystick, and put it back together without the joystick.

When busting ghosts, I’d slide the trap (the joystick-less controller) across the floor & step on the pedal (the plug at the end of the controller’s cable) to activate the trap.

Good times.

Egon Spengler from The Real Ghostbusters, with blonde hair styled in a wave, wearing a blue jumpsuit and a proton pack, is seen operating a ghost trap. Egon has a focused expression and is handling the cables in a room with a tiled floor and walls. A close-up view from The Real Ghostbusters showing a boot pressing down on a foot pedal connected to a ghost trap. The pedal is attached to a thick cable, and the background is dimly lit, suggesting an intense or suspenseful moment. A classic black joystick controller with a red button and orange detailing around the base of the stick. The controller is resting on a white surface, with its cable coiled neatly beside it.
